GCDD Call for Video Stories
Check out this call for video stories for Direct Support Professionals from the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD)!
Direct Support Professionals, we want to hear your story!
GCDD’s Fall 2023 edition of the Making a Difference wants to hear from Direct Support Professionals!
We are collecting video stories of Direct Support Professionals and why they love what they do, and what is needed to give them more support and resources - so they can support the developmental disability community in Georgia!
You can use your phone or laptop to record! Just follow the directions below and it's as easy as a click of a button!
Be sure you are in a quiet, well lit spot. (TIP: if you are near a window, sit facing the window and record so you get that natural light!)
Click on this link to get started with your video!
It will open a recording portal for you, and click Let's Go!
The questions will prompt and you hit record and answer them. If you don't like the response, you can re-record. Once done, hit submit! And we'll take it from there!
These stories may be featured in the Fall issue of Making a Difference magazine.
If you are a Direct Support Professional or know someone, share this opportunity so GCDD can continually advocate for better wages and support for DSPs in Georgia.
We are collecting stories until September 20, 2023.
