The MENTOR Network

The MENTOR Network is pleased to welcome Bell Family to the Arizona MENTOR team. On September 6, 2020, 50 new team members and the 50 individuals they serve with intellectual and developmental disabilities joined the MENTOR family.

September 13-19 is Direct Support Professionals Recognition Week, a time to acknowledge the extraordinary contributions of our Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), Life Skills Trainers and other direct support staff. This week, we celebrate these often unsung heroes and the work they do to help people with an array of challenges grow and be active in their community.

Amy Henley, Clinical Program Specialist with NeuroRestorative, recently published an article in CMSA Today™ about advocating for the needs of youth with medically complex conditions as they transition from pediatric to adult healthcare.

Recently, REM Ramsey Minnesota organized a Parade of Homes to celebrate their direct support professionals and show team members just how much they are appreciated. Over the course of two days, they vised more than 70 group homes to cheer on their frontline staff.

The MENTOR Network is proud to announce that the American Network of Community Options and Resources has chosen two Network employees for its 2020 Direct Support Professional of the Year awards for their respective states.
