Compassionate Care U

Who We Are

Compassionate Care U (CCU) is a wellness-driven training organization dedicated to strengthening the caregiving workforce from the inside out.

We equip Direct Support Workers (DSWs), CNAs, home health agencies, students, and families with the tools, support, and emotional care needed to thrive. Through state-approved training, wellness workshops, and holistic resources, CCU blends skill-building with soul-building so caregivers feel confident, grounded, and supported in the work they do every day.

At CCU, wellness isn’t an add-on. It’s the foundation of great care.

Why I Started CCU:

From Somalia Swing, Founder & CEO

There was a moment when I found myself pouring into a friend who was completely burned out. She was caring for everyone but herself — and I recognized the weight she carried because I had lived it too.

It hit me:
caregivers, mothers, educators, teens, agency staff — everyone reaches a breaking point.
And everyone deserves a reset.

I’ve worn many hats: author, educator, caregiver, single mother, advocate. At my core, I’ve always been a nurturer. Starting Compassionate Care U was more than building a program — it was answering a calling.

CCU is my way of turning care into a movement.
A movement where we don’t just train people to serve others —
we teach them to care for themselves also.

This work is personal.
It’s sacred.
And it’s rooted in honoring the humanity behind every role we play.
