New support tool in my area

White Crane

There is a new support tool available here and I am hoping it will be helpful.  Our county is sponsoring it.  It is called Trualta.  There is a care manager and online assistance.  When I registered yesterday, I explored the website and there are numerous articles on caregiving and how to handle different situations.  There are also videos by Teepa Snow.  One nice thing is that most of the articles are short enough that I can read them during some downtime without having to take too much time away from DH.  I emailed the care manager  and she replied promptly and offered to chat or to meet online so she could show me around the website.  I think this will be helpful and I hope other places are offering this.

Brenda, that sounds great! Maybe it will catch on across the country. Could you put a link on here so we can see it?

Wow that does sound helpful.  Any info appreciated, I have folks here I could pass it on to as well.....

I will try to post a link.  I'm afraid it didn't work.  Try www.trualta.com.

Thank you, Brenda. I noticed they had Teepa Snow's "Positive approach to care" listed. Since that is a "pay for" online course, I'm assuming it is not free through that site, is that correct? If it is free, that would be an amazing tool to get, since many will not be able to afford paying for it.

Trualta is an online learning program.
