The Direct Care Workforce (DCW) Initiative is a public-private partnership that seeks to promote a stable and competent direct care workforce to meet the growing care needs in Arizona and provide support for families in their efforts to care for their loved ones at home and in the community. Several committees guide the work on standards for training of direct care workers, the model curriculum Principles of Caregiving, and public awareness. Participants include home care providers, community colleges, area agencies on aging, community-based organizations, and state agencies.
