Here are some important points to consider:

• Respite providers must complete a recruitment process with the Respite Facilitator before becoming an active provider in the database, which includes:

- Attending a phone screening call
- Providing 3 professional references
- Providing a vulnerable sector check that is no more than 6 months old 
- Attending a mandatory orientation session which is currently occurring virtually
- Ensuring all appropriate documentation as requested has been provided 

 

• Respite Providers are NOT therapists and should not be providing direct therapy for families/individuals.
•  Keeping your profile up to date is very important as the database is always evolving as we recruit new providers and as matches are sent to families regularly.
