Celebrating the End of DSP Recognition Week

 To Be a Direct Support Professional

It’s a job

Sure

But it’s a commitment too

A commitment to relationship

A commitment to care

A commitment to listen

It’s a job

Sure

But it’s a promise too

A promise to be kind

A promise to be gentle

A promise to be genuine

It’s a job

Sure

But it’s a vow too

A vow to never hurt

A vow to never humiliate

A vow to never dehumanize

It’s a job

Sure

But it’s also

An amazing way

To live a life of service

And experience a life of purpose.
