'Promo sm' 🌟

It's very quiet! Hard to hear

Not friends, not family, but certainly something else!

DSPs deserve much better than this! They are extremely valuable to our society. This video made me so sad.

Love the smiles and laughter, Happy Thanksgiving

So cute! Happy Thanksgiving!

Always so wonderful!

Many thanks to all the family caregivers! Happy Thanksgiving.

Defund the police or live in josh Shapiros overpoliced America while u struggle to put food on your table he will be hiring cops with ur money

I feel like we should do a "Where is the world is Mark Davis"!

Mark, Sometimes I think we need to do where in the world is Mark Davis! Love the sponsor.

I love the sponsorship this week!

The PA Budget negotiated by the General Assembly and Governor has no additional funding for DSP wages or ODP rates other than the $405 million increase over last year's rate, which is insufficient to increase DSP wages. The additional money referred to in the budget is reflective of shifting of federal and state funds. It is tragic that in a year when billions of dollars were available, the General Assembly provided minimal support to address the 60% turnover rate in community programs. A high turnover rate will lead to mistakes, shifts unable to be filled and potential tragic outcomes for people with ID/A and their family members. Lives will remain at risk. If mistakes, injuries or deaths occur, state officials should be held responsible for allowing the ID/A DSP crisis to continue without dramatic intervention, funding and assistance from the commonwealth of PA. People with ID/A, their families and DSPs deserve better.

Nice job gentlemen!

Great job, Cameron!

Sound quality not good.

Granddaughters were a great addition!!

Nice job girls! Looking forward to seeing you again next week.

Thanks Mark! I really like these news reviews.

In case you didn’t know that it was Josh Shapiro that made 80% lowers, basically a piece of aluminum a gun. And now you need to spend money with a FFL to have a piece of aluminum shipped.....! Do not give him another term....! Shapiro is a true hypocrite.... Ever wonder why most of his posts on here have comments turned off?

Fuckkkk that job

Not having a stable DPS work force because staff cannot make a livable wage and sometimes work 2 or 3 jobs to hopefully make ends meet, care for their children, and life a life worth living is simply criminal. We ask DPS workers to care for our loved ones-every single need, from the most intimate daily hygiene concerns to feeding, brushing and flossing teeth, every nutritional, every safety precaution, while also dressing and taking them day programs and participate in community events so they can be productive citizens in their communities . . . I don't know what else to say. DPS simply cannot manage their lives well when the government is providing the necessary pay to take care of our most vulnerable population of infants, children, and adults. My brother is 54 years old and has been residing in a group home since the age of 21. The grief of his affliction alone is most always unbearable to my family and me. The fear for his care and safety is overwhelmingly burdensome. My mother and father are 83 and 87 years old and they're scared to die - for many reasons but mostly because they fear Peter won't be taken care of well. We, ALL of us, must demand more substantial pay for the absolutely incredible people who work with developmentally disabled persons. Please, please, please help us all.

The only people not on welfare working as a DSP work 60-80 hours a week to make ends meet. DSP's get raises every 5 years. Company's are so desperate to get people to stay they don't fire people anymore for wrong doing but instead transfer them to work with other clients. Pretty much what the catholic church does with priests when they are caught raping children.

I'm sending this to all my state representatives.

10 years as a DSP, have to have a second job, single mom of 2 with little help from dad, but I can't leave the clients, they need us

Tears. Ive spent so much time with so many amazing people as a DSP. I love my job. But I dont make any expendable money after bills, my son is growing up poor, and my colleagues arent any better off. This is important and needs more attention. I wont abandon the folks I serve.

they dont help really lol

Interestng he is for those with disabilities but thinks it is fne in abortion to rip babies who are alive a part, piece by piece. Monsters do such things.

This video is well done and shows the huge responsibility a DSP has in supporting people with whom they work.

I work in this field. I will say that one of THE biggest arguments AGAINST funding these services is the misuse and abuse of funding. For example, hiring terrible, unethical, legitimately dangerous workers and having little to no standards for managing dangerous clients. My colleague was put into a dangerous situation with a client because the client could not be controlled and endangered neighbors as well. Both my colleague and their client could have been shot or killed and it would have been justified in the eyes of the law because the client literally barged into someone's house. Luckily the homeowners were understanding even though they didn't have to be at all. The administration's response was to laugh and joke about it. "Hey _____, heard you had a busy weekend!" *wink* Those people deserve no funding and no paycheck. My colleague has since moved on because the stress and potential for personal injury or legal liability was too great. So that company lost one good apple from a tree comprised of drug users and ex-cons that have no business working with others in a care setting. It's all a joke to them, but I will agree that raking in insurance money and state funding is a good racket, so props to them for playing the game well enough to stay out of legal trouble.

Thank you to those who made this video possible. Powerfully demonstrates the crisis facing those who support individuals with disabilities in our nation.

Beautiful video! Thank you for sharing

Same experience here in Oregon #valuethework raise the wage!ruclips.net/video/3wqbPbnqjag/видео.html

Beautiful, powerful message that shows just how unsung the DSP heroes are. Thanks so much PAR for making this a priority to all of us! <3

Agree .We must fix this humanitarian crisis Lawrence Leviit Allentown,Pa

#valuethework#directsupportprofessionals

This video is extremely well done. These are the same exact issues we are dealing with in New York. We have many people like Joe and Keya working here at The Arc and we're fighting for funding to be able to support them. Keep on fighting.

This video so accurately depicts the struggles DSP staff face and the impact on the quality of the workforce for a population that most needs and deserves skilled support persons in their life.

So proud to have been a part of this!
