Note sull'episodio
Welcome to The Support Files: Independence from Both Sides! In this introductory episode, meet Anna, a self-directed disability advocate with cerebral palsy, and Ari, her Direct Support Professional with experience across multiple disability-support settings.
Anna and Ari share the experiences that led them to create the podcast, explain why perspectives from both sides of the support relationship matter, and discuss what listeners can expect from future episodes. Together, they will examine the DSP staffing crisis, self-directed services, disability policy, community living, and the systemic barriers affecting disabled people and the professionals who support them.
These are the stories behind the staffing crisis. These are the perspectives policymakers need to hear. These are The Support Files.
