Direct care workers earned a median of $16.72/hr in 2023, lagging behind similar occupations. With the growing need expected in 10 years, competitive wages are crucial. We need federal, state, and employer action to address this growing workforce challenge https://t.co/2mMfJIpcCf

We've seen this from the data in a few different ways now: stress and mental health status are top contributors to caregiver insomnia symptoms (above and beyond the contribution of overnight care demands): https://t.co/cuJUFnVdgg

Feeling two things on #APPIC Match Day:

✴️Thrilled for our stellar students who matched to top sites

✴️Frustrated that our training model in clinical psychology demands people uproot their lives for an underpaid one-year position that takes tons of time & stress to obtain
