What You'll Do

Day Program DSPs support individuals in developing life skills and independence through activities such as self-care, hygiene, arts and crafts, vocational training, and community engagement. Residential DSPs assist individuals in their homes with daily living activities including meal preparation, medication support, hygiene, transportation, and housekeeping. You'll also help teach important life skills such as budgeting, relationship-building, and decision-making. By modeling positive behaviors and offering consistent support, you empower individuals to live as independently as possible.

Why This Work Matters
