Who should register? 

  • Supervisors and staff who participate in pathway planning and behavior assessments

  • Leadership team members who are involved in outcomes decisions

  • Volunteers seeking to better understand the “why” behind outcomes decisions

CARS consists of 10+ modules that take you through an in-depth exploration of the CARS framework and its applications. Rather than simply clicking through multiple-choice quizzes, learners will think practically about each section of the risk assessment process and receive individualized coaching and feedback on their written work from our EDUCATION TEAM.

Thinking about how you will submit written assignments for the course? We’re here to help! Participants can ask about our recommendations for a team-based learning approach, or drop-in to our Zoom office hours to ask for help, discuss the content, and get to know our EDUCATION TEAM.

Logistics: CARS is an asynchronous, online learning program. You will have 6 months to complete the program. Regular access to a computer and high-speed wifi is recommended to view the module content and upload your assignments.
