Everyday Heroes: Life as a Direct Support Professional at Empowered Services
Imagine waking up each morning, knowing that your day’s work will involve making a profound difference in someone’s life. This is the rewarding reality of being a Direct Support Professional (DSP) at Empowered Services. As a DSP, you’re more than just a caregiver – you’re a mentor, an advocate, and often, a cherished friend.
Our Direct Support Professionals work closely with individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), assisting them with their day-to-day needs and providing essential support for them to live healthy, fulfilling lives. Your role is person-centered, meaning every action you take is with the aim of empowering your customers to be as independent as possible.
Every day is different and deeply personal. One day, you might be assisting with routine tasks such as meal preparation or managing medication.

You might also have the privilege of being a supportive presence at job interviews or a cheering squad at social events.
The real beauty of being a DSP at Empowered Services lies in these small, seemingly ordinary moments that, when woven together, create extraordinary change. It’s in the joy of seeing someone you’ve mentored master a new skill. It’s in the quiet satisfaction of observing them grow more confident and independent.

But what does it feel like? It feels like purpose. It feels like compassion. It feels like knowing that the care and support you provide each day contributes to the greater tapestry of a person’s life. It feels like being an everyday hero.
We won’t say it’s always easy – after all, every significant job comes with its challenges. However, we can assure you that it’s deeply rewarding. At Empowered Services, we provide a supportive, nurturing work environment where you are respected and valued. We see our DSPs as the heart of our organization and, as such, we offer ongoing training and opportunities for professional growth.

Reviews & Testimonials
There are too many to list. Here is recent feedback and a unique perspective from one of our providers and the parent of a customer.
“I have the unique position of being both a DSP provider and a parent of a customer at Empowered Services, my handsome son, JT.
My son is almost nine years old, and I have been staying home and working full-time with him. Before working with Empowered Services, I struggled to hold jobs that worked with or aligned with our families’ schedules and needs. This is something I know many parents and DSPs can relate to. It’s easier to understand these hardships if you have lived them.
My family cannot deny the positive impact Empowered Services has granted us, especially seeing my son, JT’s growth, development, and well-being.”
– Whitney VanBrocklin
