The work of a direct support professional (DSP) is both rewarding and challenging. It can be common to experience difficulties when providing supports and services to others. DSPs support people on their best and worst days. When a person is having a bad day, they may communicate their emotions by engaging in challenging behaviors. It is OK for DSPs to ask for help if they do not know what to do or if they need assistance.
