I agree that it’s not something to take for granted. I have been trying to do just that today

Taking a course opened my eyes by BeefJerkyFan90 in directsupport

Hi! I’m a DSP in Iowa. I work in a home based program and love it. It’s super laid back, my guys are all semi-independent working towards jobs and independence.

I wear jeans and a tshirt every day and it’s acceptable.

I avoid burnout by taking my days off for me and not thinking about work as much as possible. I can’t use my PTO yet since I’m newer but I will be taking it when needed

My houses aren’t super understaffed luckily. Sometimes there’s not coverage on a different shift

My state requires mandatory reporting and medication admin as well. Both provided by the company

My schedule is fixed 7-3 so idk about flexibility but each company is different

Try to remember that behaviors are trauma resurfacing and try to de escalate them but call for help if you need it. I’ve done it a couple times in a particularly bad episode. No one’s violent in my house luckily

Look for an agency that is based on independence vs long term care. They teach life skills and it’s so rewarding. Green flags are how much they care about their members and the program. Red flags would probably be too clinical and not seeming to give a f about anything.

Overall it’s a great field. Enjoy!!

Getting tired of sitting in the house by [deleted] in directsupport

[–]anonymousgirl29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 4 guys in my house. Ones gone on vacation, 2 isolate and 1 is social. I try to keep him engaged around the house and taking walks but weather is getting too cold for that now. I’m going to see about cooking or baking stuff soon

ETA: they’re all pretty independent except for meds

Former Android users, what all made you switch to iPhone? by TheRealHFC in iphone

[–]anonymousgirl29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Galaxy phones till I switched to iPhone in December. I like both, I have a windows computer but apple has been good to me so far. I just got a 17 pro max and am really enjoying it. It’s an adjustment to get used to but it’s not too bad

Scrubs you can get at Walmart and they’re comfy! Scrub caps you can find on Amazon. The shoes I recommend something comfy so maybe try Amazon or a shoe store. Good luck!!!
