Subject: | Resolution designating September 30, 2014 as “Direct Support Professionals Day” in Pennsylvania. |
In the near future, I plan to introduce a Resolution designating September 30, 2014 as “Direct Support Professionals Day” in Pennsylvania. As many of you know, direct support professionals and support coordinators assist individuals by helping to improve their daily lives. These professionals work directly with consumers throughout the Commonwealth in residential, day, and in employment and support programs to provide skillful and compassionate services and supports for seniors, people with developmental disabilities, people with mental illness, and those with chronic medical conditions. These efforts allow those in need to live with dignity and comfort in our communities and their efforts should be lauded. To that end, it is for these reasons and more that I am proud to offer this Resolution recognizing the important work these professionals provide to our neediest and most vulnerable citizens. With that said, if you have any questions, please contact my office at (717) 787-3181. |
