Your primary role as a Direct Support Professional is to provide balance and care to encourage the dreams of the individuals we support. The duties of your employment will be as endless as the aspirations of those who you will care for. Together you will grow as you assist them in the identification and realization of both daily and yearly life goals, simultaneously advocating for their health and safety while enabling them to overcome barriers and to establish their own networks and roles within society.
As a Community Habilitation Specialist, you are both the key to and the safety net from the opportunities and pitfalls of independent living. As a facilitator of social balance, you will simultaneously ensure the health and safety of the individuals you support while supporting their active involvement in the community, and advocating for the fulfillment of their needs.
Your role as a Community Support Specialist is both that of a teacher and a confidant. Steady in your support, you will help to provide stability to the individuals you assist by providing daily training in independent living skills and ensuring maintenance of psychiatric stability. As a highly organized and skilled communicator, you will enable effective interactions between the individuals whom you serve and all of the other people involved in their treatment, including other team members, family members, and the general community.
As a Behavior Intervention Specialist, you will be challenged to analyze and recreate innovative programs of intervention and prevention which will allow the individuals you support to progress further into the depths of their potential. By creatively redirecting and ensuring the minimization of targeted maladaptive behaviors, you will work directly with individuals and their support teams, functioning as the key which unlocks limitless numbers of doors that lead down the many paths to more independent living through increased social integration.
As a Registered Nurse, you already appreciate the privilege that is healing and supporting those who are in need. As a Registered Nurse working directly with the individuals we support, however, you will also learn how to aid and support the healing of the mind as well as you advocate for others and encourage constant daily treatment and habilitation through a proactive and personalized approach. At times, you will step into the role of a teacher as well, using the vast knowledge and experience that your certifications have afforded you to pass on the gift of healing to your fellow care-givers.
