MHDS Celebrates Direct Support Professionals (DSP) Week

MHDS recently showed gratitude to the DSP’s who are the foundation of care provided to the 220+ persons we support. September 10-16 was the nationally recognized week to acknowledge DSP’s who ensure the safety and well-being of those they interact with. They work tirelessly to improve and enhance the lives they touch.

During DSP Week:
MHDS delivered a logo tote bag & badge lanyard to staff on Monday.
Wednesday, MHDS offered a grab & go lunch for DSP’s at each location.
Each facility had a Dessert Bar for staff to enjoy on Friday.

“MHDS is extremely fortunate to have the caliber of DSP’s we do. We often have folks with 20+ years of service. They have such heart and compassion for those they care for. It is remarkable to witness. We hope they enjoyed being celebrated and know how truly important they are to this organization,” said Executive Director, Bill Brewer.
