A Message from the Director Yours in Service,
David A. Brieno This newsletter probably finds you 'basting' in the desert heat/humidity and looking forward to cooler days.  Oh, me too!  It is worth it because soon we will be barbecuing while others are shoveling snow from their driveway and sidewalks.

September 8 - 14, 2019 is Direct Support Professional Recognition Week.  The week is dedicated to recognizing DSPs for their contribution to members, families, agencies and the community.  While not always an easy job- understanding, empathy, and love will always be a requirement of the job.  

On  Saturday, August 24th, all staff at Independence Plus attended a Positive Behavior Support class held at the center.  People were on time (except for just one person) and nobody grumbled or complained.  That is a testament to our staff who are dedicated to our mission and the work we do.

Independence Plus is very lucky.   We have a low rate of turnover compared to many other agencies in the same field.  If and when you get a chance, please give a kind word and say thanks to our direct service workers.  

We also send thanks to parents, family, guardians, caregivers, and ADH Providers.  Bless you for giving yourselves in the spirit of service.  It's not just a job...it is a calling and a mission!
