LOOKING FOR ADVERTISERS & SPONSORS!

It’s time to celebrate our Direct Support Professional Heroes! Our direct care staff continually demonstrate heroic levels of selflessness and compassion on the job as they care for the individuals. For the 7^th year, NJACP is providing an opportunity for its members to celebrate one staff member in a Direct Support Role who has truly gone above and beyond the call of duty – all in time for National Direct Support Professionals Week in September.
