Executive Session-DSP Sustainability Project Workshop for Upper Level Management
This six-part expanded virtual series is designed for CEOs and executive leaders to transform how they support Direct Support Professionals —the backbone of care in disability services, healthcare, and long-term support. From research by economist Dr. Jennifer Cohen, we know DSPs love their work but often can’t afford to stay. While we continue pushing for better pay, there is much more we can do -right now- to support those who support people with I/DD and their families.
