Welcome to the "Could This Happen in Your Program?" podcast, where we find collaborative solutions to protecting NY’s most vulnerable populations. The Justice Center is proud to celebrate Direct Support Professional Recognition Week, which is happening from September 7 – 13.

This week is a chance to shine a light on the committed direct support workforce at the heart of care for individuals with disabilities.

On today’s episode, we are honored to be joined by Joe Macbeth, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Direct Support Professionals. He joins us for a special conversation about the evolving role of direct support professionals and the shared responsibility we have to equip DSPs with the necessary tools to safeguard those in their care.
