What does a Lifesharing provider need to have and do?

Lifesharing providers need to have the time, space, and ability to support the participant’s needs. They must also pass a criminal background check and child abuse clearances. Lifesharing providers must complete annual trainings on First Aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), Individual Support Plans, Family interactions, and building relationships.


They must provide a safe, nurturing, and healthy environment, a traditional family/community living arrangement, and follow all regulations of their provider agency, the Fayette County Behavioral Health Administration, Pennsylvania DPW, and the Office of Developmental Programs. If you are interested in becoming a Lifesharing Provider, call 724-430-1370.
