💙Why Person Centered Thinking Matters💛
For people supported by services, it’s not just about creating a person centered plan—it’s about fostering a culture of person centered thinking. If individuals are to have positive control over their lives and self-directed lives within their communities, those who work with them daily need strong person centered thinking skills.

🔹Provides multiple ways to start plans naturally.
🔸Makes updating plans easier and less time-consuming.

Wednesday Warrior - Realizing Success

Shawn Richards joined SSVA in 2019 as a Direct Support Professional (DSP), where his compassion and commitment quickly made an impact. In 2023, he took the next step in becoming a Site Coordinator for In-Home Services. Through his hard work and reliability, he took on extra responsibilities such as assisting with appointments, picking up and dropping off medications, and ensuring DSP notes were completed for billing.

His dedication and teamwork continued to shine, and now he is taking another exciting leap — recently becoming the Site Coordinator for a Group Home! Our residents have welcomed him warmly into their home, and he’s already building strong relationships as someone they can count on for support. His enthusiasm and leadership continue to grow and strengthen as he encourages not only the individuals that he supports but also the DSP's that he supervises.

Shawn enjoys spending time with his cats, Coco and Zoro, playing Pokémon, and volunteering in the community. 💙💛

At SSVA, kindness is woven into everything we do—from supporting individuals in our programs to uplifting one another as teammates. It’s how we help others realize their success, and in turn, realize our own.

"Kindness is free. Sprinkle that stuff everywhere.” – Tabitha Brown, actress, author, and advocate for wellness and joy

Today we honor Susan B., a true cornerstone of the SSVA family since 1997! When Susan returned to Hampton Roads from West Virginia, she brought with her a passion for creating a life on her terms—and she’s been doing so ever since, showing others that it is possible.

Susan has been one of the best guides for our team, helping us understand alternative communication, showing us how to create person-centered services, and to encouraging us embrace positive practices as a means to creating long term, positive change.

Susan exemplifies the desire for autonomy. Her ability to create a life of her choosing reminds us that independence and choice are at the heart of meaningful support.

Susan is also a shining example of overcoming challenges with sensory perceptions and limited verbal communication, proving that strength comes in many forms. Recently, Susan has faced complex medical issues with courage and grace, inspiring all of us with her unwavering spirit.

Susan, you are truly our hero—your courage, wisdom, and resilience (and sense of humor) make SSVA stronger every day. 💙💛 You inspire us!

Monday Motivation -

As tomorrow marks Election Day, let John Lewis’s words guide us today:

🔹Recognize the privilege and responsibility.
Voting isn’t just a right—it’s our collective voice and legacy.
🔸Prepare with purpose.
Gather your ballots, double-check polling hours, and plan your route. These small
actions ensure your participation.
🔹Inspire action in others.
Remind others that their voices matter.
🔸Reflect on the power of nonviolent change.
Every community shaped by voter participation stands as a testament to
peaceful, purposeful action.

Today let's celebrate the journey toward equality remembering that every vote builds on the sacrifices made by those who fought for this right.

Together, let’s honor the courage of trailblazers like John Lewis by showing up—tomorrow, and every day after.

Tomorrow Let's Vote!! 💙💛

Wednesday Warrior - Realizing Success

Janice Johnson is the true picture of strength, heart, and dedication. As a Site Coordinator and proud member of the Danville team since 2011, she’s been a steady force of love, leadership, and creativity for well over a decade.
Balancing two full-time jobs, Janice still pours her energy into the people and passions that matter most. A proud grandmother and soon-to-be Nana again, her life is rooted in family and guided by her faith.

She’s known for her creativity—whether it’s decorating, baking, or speaking her mind with honesty and grace. With a book in one hand and her famously oversized pocketbook in the other, Janice moves through life with style—especially when it’s time to break out her beloved fall boots.

A lifelong Redskins fan and holiday enthusiast, Janice never misses a chance to celebrate in full spirit. Her motto, “God first, and everything follows,” is a reflection of the joy and warmth she brings to those around her.

Janice recently became a Monthly Impressions Winner for a submission from Samantha Morris:
"You are always thinking of the individuals, trying to make every day as fun and entertaining as possible for them. You are very creative and bring so much enthusiasm to Day Support. Thank you for all your effort and dedication!"

You inspire us! 💙💛

At SSVA, we believe in realizing success by helping others realize theirs. Let’s continue to be a source of hope, strength, and peace for one another. Because together, we build a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

"You are always there when I need help, you explain things so that I can understand and learn the correct way of doing things on the MAR. I just wanted to say a big thank you for taking the time to teach me and showing me patience as I ask questions. You are amazing."

Jeanie exemplifies our value of Helping Others Realize Success. Her patience, clarity, and willingness to support her colleagues make her an invaluable part of SSVA. Whether she’s guiding someone through a process or simply being a steady presence, Jeanie’s impact is felt far and wide.
