Arlington, MA, November 5th, 2019. The Arc of Massachusetts is cosponsoring a screening of the documentary Invaluable: The Unrecognized Profession of Direct Support. This film explores the underappreciated and underfunded work of direct support professionals (DSPs), the people who support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in living full lives as members of their communities.
* Through stories and interviews with DSPs, family members, advocates, and people with disabilities from across the country, the film honors the complexity of the work and the immense value it provides to individuals receiving support. It asks us to take action now in strengthening the DSP workforce before the system collapses.
