Celebrating our NH Community Participation Services team 🙌

A note from NH Community Participation Services Manager, Sarah Page:
"The NH CPS staff are amazing in the way that they support the members every day. They are always on the lookout for new events and activities that members are interested in.

Recognizing our Independent Living Program team! 🙌

A note from Kim Small, Independent Living Program Coordinator:
"I wanted to say how much I appreciate my entire team. Whenever I am in a bind, they are always there to help myself or a member out. There are many times when our members are interested in doing activities outside of their home and my team is willing to support them in their activities. I have one member who loves seeing scary movies and although it is not the DSP first choice of movie to watch they watch it for our members. Some of the activities that our members want to participate in are outside of regular hours so without skipping a beat they are there to support.

I have a caring compassionate team, and my department would not be where it is today without each one of them."

Thank you to our wonderful DSPs on our ILP team!
