Liz’s Story – Direct Support Professional

Thank you, Liz, for all you do.
Consistency, relationships and support matter. Direct Support Professionals perform difficult and intimate tasks, and deserve a fair wage. DSPs have not gotten a significant raise in eight years. While Liz has stayed, many DSPs have had to make the difficult choice to take other jobs in order to care for their own families.
As wages have stagnated, turnover has skyrocketed, which hurts the people we serve – some of the state’s most vulnerable residents. To learn more about #bfair2directcare visit our advocacy page.
