🌟 Recognizing Excellence in Direct Support 🌟

At CSG, we’re proud to invest in the growth of our amazing Direct Support Professionals (DSPs). That’s why we’ve partnered with the NADSP E-Badge Academy, a national program that helps DSP team members earn professional credentials while showcasing their skills, dedication, and commitment to quality care.

Through E-Badge Academy, DSPs and FLSs earn stackable e-badges in areas like Crisis Intervention, Medication Administration, First Aid, Respecting Confidentiality, and more — all building toward nationally recognized NADSP Certifications.

As of October 7, 2025:
🏅 67 DSPs and FLSs are actively working toward certification.
🏅 DSPs have earned 213 badges to date.
🏅 FLSs have earned 283 badges to date.

We’re also proud to recognize:
✨ 7 DSPs who have earned their DSP I Credential
✨ 6 FLSs who have achieved their FLS Credential

We couldn’t be prouder of our team for their commitment to growth, excellence, and the mission of supporting individuals with compassion, skill, and heart. 👏

These achievements are just a small piece of the professionalism and dedication of our frontline staff, serving others at the heart of CSG’s mission. Learn more about the NADSP E-Badge Academy here: https://nadsp.org/services/the-nadsp-e-badge-academy/

For many, Halloween means parties, creativity, and fun - but for others, the noise, crowds, and sensory overload can be overwhelming.

Whether you live with anxiety or sensory sensitivities, or you’re supporting someone who does, a little prep and planning can go a long way toward making the day enjoyable for everyone.

Here are a few ways to stay grounded and positive this Halloween:

⚠️ Set boundaries. It’s okay to skip events or activities that feel stressful.
🕯️ Create calm spaces. If parties or trick-or-treating get overwhelming, take breaks in a quiet spot.
🍂 Stick to routines. Consistency can help reduce anxiety for kids or individuals with IDD.
🎨 Focus on joy. Watch a favorite movie, carve pumpkins, or hand out candy instead of going door-to-door—whatever feels right for you.

We hope your Halloween is safe, fun and with just the right amount of fright! 👻

At CSG, we work to provide each individual we serve with opportunities to use their talents, build confidence, and find purpose through meaningful work and community involvement. This National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), we want to share a few examples of how we do it!

🟢 Our Concepts Community Participation Supports (CPS) help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) develop essential life and job skills that foster independence and connection. Whether it’s learning daily living routines, practicing communication, or gaining hands-on experience in community settings, these skills open doors to independence and thriving lives.

🟢 Through Supported Employment (SE), individuals with significant disabilities requiring intensive levels of care can have access to competitive and integrated employment, coaching and individualized on-site support. This service allows individuals to define and pursue employment goals in their community.

🟢 CSG Bakery helps individuals in our services develop work skills needed for employment. And our Clubhouse programs offer both transitional and competitive employment opportunities.

These are just a few ways we're working to make community inclusion, growth, and empowerment possible. You can learn more about these and other programs at https://csgonline.org/intellectual-and-developmental-disability-services/

Together, we’re building stronger communities where everyone has the chance to succeed!

We’re excited to announce that Denise Sechrist will serve as CSG’s new Vice President of IDD Services!

With over 32 years of leadership experience at CSG, Denise brings deep knowledge, compassion, and dedication to this role. Since 2015, she’s served as Director of IDD Services, overseeing operations across our Northeast and Central regions, and expanding our Lifesharing and Supported Living programs into new counties.

Denise began her journey with us right after graduating from Lycoming College, and has held many impactful roles across both mental health and IDD services. When reflecting on her move into IDD, she shared: “It felt like I had found the work I was meant to do.”

We’re confident that Denise’s leadership will continue to guide IDD Services into a strong future. Read the full announcement 👉 https://csgonline.org/2025/10/community-services-group-announces-new-leadership-vice-president-of-idd-services/

We’re still feeling the gratitude from this year’s 29th Annual Homefields Fall Classic Golf Tournament! Thanks to the support of sponsors, players, and community partners, this very special event raised critical funds that go toward maintaining the homes, care farm, and programs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

This kind of community gathering does more than raise money, it connects people who care deeply about IDD support, helps spread awareness, and shows what’s possible when community and mission come together.

Making sure Homefields is thriving means more opportunities for connection, growth, and quality care in a setting that feels like home.

🙏 From all of us at CSG, thank you to everyone who played, sponsored, volunteered, or cheered us on. It’s your energy and commitment that keep Homefields strong.

Check out more photos from this year's outing of our amazing golfers and sponsors! https://www.homefields.org/golf
