The tendency to care for people with health impairments at home has been growing in recent decades. This has led health and social security institutions to identify households as settings for care, and the family, as a fundamental element to support this practice. In this context, the State Employees' Social Security and Social Services Institute (Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado (ISSSTE)) has developed an interactive multimedia course that can be consulted by anyone with internet access.

The course is open to anyone interested in caregiving. It describes tools that guide and help people to learn techniques and procedures, and provides useful information to help carers to perform their daily activities in a better way. We know that caregivers face very complex situations on a daily basis; therefore, the course is permanently available for consultation on the ISSSTE website.
