Providing Support During the  COVID-19 Pandemic: Direct Support Professionals  Survey, 12-Month Follow Up

 Over the past 12 months, direct support professionals have experienced high risks of infection, financial hardship, and exhaustion. Many have become ill and lost loved ones. The voices of DSPs matter, now more than ever. Show them you care about their wellbeing by passing along this confidential survey. It is incredibly important for many states to get the word out on this survey. This survey will help provide data that will be helpful for advocacy.

The University of Minnesota’s Institute on Community Integration, in partnership with the National Alliance for Direct Support Professionals, developed this survey to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on direct support professionals and identify the most effective ways to protect DSPs and the people they support.
