Direct Support Professional's Week - Featuring Greg Brown!

Greg Brown was hired to work at Marrakech in 1997.  From the day he arrived here we knew he was something special.  Seventeen years later, individuals he works with  can't say enough great things about him.

One individual that Greg has been working with for years stated, "Greg is a real good staff person, it is his attitude, he tries to help as much as possible, he has a good personality. I value our relationship."  The most powerful statement reported was, "There is nobody I know that could replace what he has done for us."

Greg has been working in our Independent Livening Support Services Program, providing supports to people who live in the community on their own.  Greg is a living example of person-centered thinking.  He understands his role in the lives of the people we serve, what is important to them, and exercises power with them as equals.  That is probably why he is well regarded and respected.

Greg's colleagues also recognize and respect him for the wonderful work he does.
