Mental Health Matters!

🎉 🎈 September is Direct Support Professional (DSP) Staff Appreciation Month here at EBI, and one notable celebration was our annual DSP appreciation event on Friday, September 13th! We gathered staff here in San Leandro at the Community Center, and enjoyed good food, fun games, and a lot of gratitude for our wonderful staff. We are proud to employ so many passionate individuals who provide critical support for members of our community. DSPs are truly the heartbeat of our organization, making the important work we do possible. 2024 is EBI’s 30th year of providing services to the disability community in Alameda County, and we would not be where we are today without the dedication of our staff members. THANK YOU! 🎉 Shout out to Jen Swiatlowski and the Staff Appreciation Committee for putting this event together and making it the amazing time it was! Awesome work 👏 Enjoy these lovely photos of our amazing DSPs 😍 #30YearsofEBI #EBIEmpowers #directsupportprofessional #dsp #staffappreciation #disabilityservices

🎊 Help us celebrate one of our amazing Direct Support Professionals! The California Disability Services Association aims to honor and acknowledge all DSPs, especially those as accomplished as our nominee. Luz Estrella was nominated by East Bay Innovations to receive the DSP Empowerment Nomination Award. She was awarded this certificate for her service as a DSP. Luz started with East Bay Innovations in 2010 in Community Day Supports where she supported clients with high support needs to meaningfully engage with the community through dance, art, yoga, and was recognized across the agency for the exceptional support she provided. Luz came up with new ideas for client activities and helped us to establish cooking clubs, holiday parties, and birthday celebrations for her clients with their involvement. Her presence in CDS helped to shape it into the program it is today. In 2017 Luz was promoted to the Transitional Care and Case Management and in 2021, she was promoted to a Case Manager Supervisor. In this role, she continiously provides support to our clients and Case Management team. Thank you Luz, for your ongoing dedication, creativity, and committment to serving our community! 🎉 ❤️ #EBIEmpowers #30YearsofEBI #DSPsrock!
