Our mission is to bring direct care and support professionals

together to create positive change.

Established in February 2022, the Direct Care & Support Professional Advisory Council empowers Maine’s caregivers to use their collective voice in influencing crucial work decisions. We bring together direct care and support professionals from all corners of the state to share valuable experiences, cultivate leadership and advocacy skills, and influence policy decisions that can revolutionize direct care roles. As you work to create a better world for your residents, we work to do the same for you.
