Gov. Mike Pence has proclaimed the week of Sept. 11-17 as Direct Support Professionals Week in Indiana to celebrate the work of the more than 26,000 DSPs who work in the state. Indiana is one of many states in the country that participate in the national observance.

The vast majority of Carey Services’ employees are the DSPs who provide direct care. As part of DSP Week activities, the agency’s DSPs will be honored with daily activities.
