COMPASS Toolkit for home care workers

COMPASS Video

Home care workers often lack access to training, ergonomic tools, and peer support, which puts them at greater risk for injuries and mental and physical illnesses. COMPASS is an evidence-based toolkit where home care workers learn together, set goals, and get support for making changes to improve their safety, health, and well-being. We partnered with the Oregon Home Care Commission to develop the COMPASS. Toolkit. Learn more in the video below.
