Project Description:
Trained 60 of MRCI's frontline supervisors/leaders in Shakopee, Minnesota, using the curriculum that former staff member Angela Amado developed for ICI's Research and Training Center on Community Living: Friends: Connecting People with Disabilities and Community Members. MRCI is a social services organization that supports individuals through day programs, including retirement support and employment. MRCI has over 400 employees in locations such as Chaska, Rosemount, New Ulm, Fairmont, Shakopee, and Mankato. All of MRCI's leadership staff have completed Person Centered Training through DirectCourse, and MRCI executives requested this training for their frontline supervisors because the organization wanted the people they support to be part of the community, not just in the community.
