Next week, September 14th - 20th is DSP week! At Rising Sun we are so thankful and blessed to have an incredible team of Direct Support Professionals. Every day, a DSP wears a hundred different hats. We are caregivers, teachers, advocates, cheerleaders, chauffeurs, problem-solvers, planners, counselors, friends, and so much more. We help with medications and appointments, encourage independence, teach life skills, support goals, celebrate accomplishments, calm fears, and sometimes simply sit beside someone when they need us. We are cooks, cleaners, activity planners, event coordinators, safety officers, communicators, and sometimes even comedians. No two days are ever exactly the same, and no two individuals need the same kind of support. Being a DSP means showing up with patience, compassion, flexibility, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to help someone live their best and most independent life. We don’t just wear many hats, we wear them all at once, and we wear them with heart. ❤️We are so excited to share a little about our amazing team throughout next week so stay tuned to get to know them all a little better! 🎉
