Direct Support Professional (DSP) Recognition Week is a time to celebrate the incredible professionals who support people with disabilities in living independent, fulfilling, and meaningful lives. DSPs provide encouragement, advocacy, guidance, and daily support that help individuals reach their goals and be active members of their communities.

We kicked off DSP Week with some exciting upgrades to our staff lounge, including a new coffee bar and a dedicated decompression area to help our team recharge. These improvements were made possible through the generosity of our donors, and we are so grateful for their support. Thank you to our incredible Direct Support Professionals for the compassion, dedication, and difference you make every day!

Help us spread the word and support this great organization! Advantage Services Inc

Advantage Services needs your help to continue our mission of Independence through Gainful Employment for Disadvantaged Individuals. Since 1992 we've served the Salt Lake Valley by helping those who are experiencing disadvantages (homelessness, incarceration, mental/physical disabilities, and/or addiction) in their lives by giving them employment and the tools to thrive after taking that first step.

Through a series of unfortunate choices made by our largest partner, we're now facing the difficult task of making up the costs necessary to continue operating while we finalize other avenues to keep our doors open. Any questions can be directed to [email protected]
