Happy Direct Support Professional Week to all DSPs working everyday to make a difference in the lives of the individuals you support! People who receive services through St.Amant rely on you daily to help them live a rich, full life. You work long hours and much of what you do is not witnessed by many, but know that it makes a huge impact!
DSPs have many titles at St.Amant; Support Worker, Keyworker, Treatment Staff, Team Leader, Tutor, Foster Care Facilitator, etc., but you all share a commitment to excellence and best practice in supporting people to have meaningful lives. We are very proud of what you do on a daily basis and want to thank you for your service, specifically on this special week!

Below are just some reasons why St.Amant DSPs love their job.
Verna Eyers: I have learned more from the people I support about life, and giving, and caring than I have learned anywhere else. Even amongst those who do not speak, we have great communicators in our midst.
Carlo Cristobal: I love being a DSP because everyday is a different challenge.
Natasha Malenchak: I make a difference as a DSP by being a consistent presence in the lives of the people we support. I love being a DSP because it gives me a chance to learn and grow as an individual myself.
Amber Bell: I chose to be a DSP because I feel individuals with special needs should be given the chance to enjoy the community like everyone else.
