DSPs are a vital part of agencies everywhere.

MITC is awarding $5,000 in September to Direct Support Professionals (DSP) who stand out and go above and beyond to provide exemplary service. MITC values the hard work put forth by DSPs every day and is hoping to show our appreciation through these prizes!

Your participation is important — it shows DSPs that you appreciate their hard and, at times, dangerous work. Three prizes will be awarded:

  • First place prize of $3,000
  • Second place prize of $1,500
  • Third place prize of $500

We will share the awardees’ stories with providers. The winners will be announced during DSP Recognition Week in September 2023.

The deadline to nominate a DSP is August 1, 2023.

Much of this content was originally published by OPEN MINDS in September 2022. In turn, this content was derived from a presentation by Dee Werline, President and Chief Executive Officer at New Vista, and Dee DeWitt, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer at Momentum for Health. The article matched a lot of our own thinking at MITC and thought the content deserved a wider audience.
