We are so excited to announce that Hopewell additional Day Programs are in the works for Cabell (Directions West) and Putnam Counties (Directions Central)!
Our Cross Lanes location will be renamed to Directions East and will NOT be undergoing major changes.

These additions will not only advance Hopewell services to new areas, but create a network of individuals and families that will strengthen everyone’s Day Program experience, their learning, and their community integration! We are SO excited! If you are interested in more information or in joining our wait lists, please shoot us a message!

We love our labels. My client. My service user. My participant. Each one draws a line, you there, me here. Each word creates distance, a buffer of professionalism. Every word starts with my. Ownership. Possession. Subtle, but real and dangerous. Not long ago, and still in some places today, people have been held captive, their lives controlled by the professionals meant to support them. How many have lived years under someone else’s rules, routines, and definitions of them?

The people we support aren’t ours. They belong to themselves. Forget that, and we stop supporting and start managing. Use people's names whenever you can. When that’s not possible, use language that is person-centered and respectful. For example, the person I support, the person I work for, the people I assist. Words matter.
