SOAR Essentials Asheville
The Asheville SOAR Essentials Training will take place on March 17, 2009.
SOAR Essentials is a 4 hour training geared toward those who supervise or support SOAR case workers in their agency or community. It's also a great refresher course for those caseworkers who have already participated in the 2 day SOAR caseworker training.
The cost of the training is $10.00 for NCCEH members and $20.00 for non-members.
Workshop Highlights:
- A step-by-step explanation of the SSI/SSDI application and disability determination process
- Strategies for working with homeless persons with serious mental illness and co-occurring disorders – only a fraction of this population receives the benefits to which they are entitled
- Samples and explanations of SSA and DDS paperwork and necessary reports
- Agency and community implementation planning
