Developed by Parents for Behaviorally Different Children’s Delfy Roach and psychologist Dr. Joab Gouveia, the Respiro manual and trainings were purchased by the State of New Mexico to develop behavioral respite care across the state.

Available for the first time nationwide, the Respiro manual gives step by step instructions to creating and maintaining effective behavioral respite care.

Included in the Respiro manual are sections on:

Respite Concepts, Definition, and Eligibility

The Behavioral Respite Care Agency

The Behavioral Respite Care Provider

The Behavioral Respite Care Family

The Behavioral Respite Care Training Curriculum

Sample forms, along with policies and procedures, guide agencies in the creation of behavioral respite care from implementing and marketing of the service, to hiring and evaluating respite workers. Easy to follow curriculums are provided to train the behavioral respite agency and behavioral respite care providers.

 

Respiro manual is $250.

Agencies need to buy only one copy.

 

The authors of Respiro are available for trainings, call the PBDC office for more information.
