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!<br \/>\nDSPs 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!<br \/>\nDid you know there is an Alliance of Direct Support Professionals in Manitoba? Check out their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AllianceofDirectSupportProfessionalsofManitoba?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook page<\/a> to keep up on what is happening that may interest you!<br \/>\nBelow are just some reasons why St.Amant DSPs love their job.\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Verna Eyers: <\/b>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.<br \/>\n<strong>Carlo Cristobal:<\/strong> I love being a DSP because everyday is a different challenge.<br \/>\n<strong>Natasha Malenchak: <\/strong>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.<br \/>\n<strong>Amber Bell: <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Direct Support Professional Week to all DSPs working everyday to make a difference in the lives of the individuals you support!
