Blue Heron Programs

Blue Heron Programs We are an employment training program dedicated to helping adults with developmental disabilities obtain employment.

Our founders Wyatt and Braydon are passionate about the people they serve and passionate about employment! They believe whole heartedly that it is one of the greatest paths to a life of purpose, self determination, and connection for those with developmental disabilities. Combined they have almost 10 years of experience managing programs for adults with developmental disabilities. They have spent the last 3 years together managing together in Solano County, developing an employment training program with NBRC that has had incredible success (80% of participants employed). They are looking to transfer that same success over to ACRC.

Congratulations to Blue Heron's DSPs of the Year: Lavonne and Jazzy! 🥳
Blue Heron is so lucky to have you both a part of the team 💙 Here are some words shared by our recognized counselors:
Lavonne:
-What is one of your favorite memories this year from program?
My favorite memory in the program was taking my participants to their first day at their paid internship. Being able to support them through everything that comes with starting something new, and then seeing how proud they were of themselves at the end of their shifts, was such a rewarding experience.
-Favorite quote related to this field/program :)
"Behavioral health work at its core is simple: you show up, believe in people, and help them shine."

Jazzy:
-What is one of your favorite memories this year from program?
One of my favorite memories this year was when we did Karaoke and games together during a Fun Friday. I got to sing and hear everyone else sing too!
-Favorite quote related to this field/program :)
"I'm a DSP, I can't promise to fix all your problems, but I can promise you won't have to face them alone"

Blue Heron Programs Team Outing! 🤩
Our team had a spell-tacular night out at Drake’s Barn in Sacramento for a special Halloween showing of Hocus Pocus! 🧙‍♀️
We enjoyed good company, tasty pizza, and roasted marshmallows for the perfect s’mores by the fire. 🍫 It was the perfect way to celebrate the season and spend time together outside of work!

Halloween Spirit Week Recap! 👻🎃
Last week our crew got into the spooky spirit and had some fun dressing up all week long! 🥳
Take a look at our dress up days:
Monday – Crazy Hat Day!
The wackier the hat, the better! Showing off creative (and maybe creepy) headgear!
Tuesday – Dress Like Your Favorite Animal!
Whether a cute kitten, a wild lion, or a mysterious owl, we got to see all of our spirit animals!
Wednesday – Wear Pink!
It was a pink party! Rockin our favorite shades of pink from head to toe!
Thursday – Dress Like Your EC — It’s your time to shine as your EC — twinning is winning!
Friday – Gaggle Games & Halloween Costumes!
To wrap up our Spirit Week we had some friendly competition and showed up with our best Halloween look!
Another great Halloween with so much spirit from our participants and team! ✨
