Important Update Regarding Respite Services Training

We are upgrading our platform! Brand-new content will launch in the New Year.

This course is currently unavailable for new purchases.

Existing Learners: If you have already enrolled, you will continue to have full portal access to complete your training through November 30, 2026.

Respite is a critical service for families and supports people to live full and meaningful lives in their community.

SafeGuards created the Respite Learning Portal to provide much needed training and resources to support positive long-term relationships between families requiring respite and respite providers. This is a dedicated portal for people who want to know more about respite services and enhance their skills through online courses and webinars.
We are excited to offer 3 training programs which will be available online:

  • Respite Services Training Certificate
  • Respite Care for People with Autism
  • Autism and Your Child, A Parent's Guide

As of March 2020, more than 16,000 people from across North America have taken Safeguard’s Respite Courses.

Please Note: Registration for the Respite Services Training is currently closed. Current learners retain full access to complete their course until November 30, 2026. Exciting new content and a refreshed portal are coming in Early 2027!
