The holiday season fills up fast.
Family plans, school events, work parties, travel, traditions — before you know it, December turns into a blur. And we never want our staff to feel like celebrating with us is “one more thing” to squeeze into an already chaotic month.
So this year, we did something different.
We brought everyone together early for our first Gathering of Gratitude .
We treated our DSA team to dinner, drinks, dessert, and a night where the only thing anyone had to focus on was relaxing and being present. No schedules. No responsibilities. Just warmth, laughter, and people who genuinely enjoy being together. We wanted it to be a thank-you, a pause, and a moment of peace before things get wild.
As leadership, we say it often — but nights like this make it real:
You are the reason this place works.
You are the reason people feel safe, supported, and seen.
And you are the reason we can build something this meaningful together.
So, to the Encompass Person Centered Day supports team:
Thank you for the compassion you bring.
Thank you for the humor that keeps us going.
Thank you for the care you show — to participants and to each other.
We’re grateful for you — not just during the holidays, but all year long.
🧡✨
