Show DSPs that they are essential

Show DSPs that they are essential.

While it’s no secret that the work of direct support professionals (DSPs) is critically important to the lives of people with disabilities, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has highlighted just how essential this workforce truly is. The National Alliance for Direct Support Professionals (NADSP) has spent the majority of this entire year focused on elevating the status of DSPs and especially supporting them as they navigate the resulting pressures, stresses and demands due to the pandemic. But we can’t do this alone. Direct support professionals need your support. NADSP needs your support. Let’s show DSPs that they are essential. We ask that you partner with us through NADSP Membership to make our vision – a world with a highly qualified and professional direct support workforce – become a reality. You can join a national network of DSPs, Frontline Supervisors, self-advocates, family members, human service organizations, healthcare professionals, social workers, statewide groups, and national associations. By joining NADSP, you will have direct and exclusive access to information, resources, tools, and training to improve the knowledge and skill set of the DSP workforce. There are multiple NADSP Membership options that range from the individual-level to organizational-level, where all of an organization’s employees will be able to take advantage of the NADSP Membership benefits.
