🌈 Monday Motivation —
As we step into the first Monday of Pride Month, it’s a good reminder of something we talk about often—but it matters even more right now. Everyone deserves to feel seen, safe, and valued.

At SSVA, inclusion isn’t just a word—it shows up in the small, everyday choices we make:
💚How we speak to one another
💛How we support the individuals we serve
🩷How we create spaces where people can show up as their full selves

That’s how we build strong teams, meaningful relationships, and truly person-centered supports.

Be yourself. Be proud. And be someone who makes it easier for others to do the same. 🌈

Monday Motivation 💚Your mental health matters.💚

In the work we do, it’s easy to keep pushing—but taking care of yourself is not a break from the work… it’s what allows you to do it well.
✨ It’s okay to pause
✨ Step away when you need a moment
✨ Ask for support
✨ Set boundaries with compassion

Let this week be about presence over perfection.

Take care of yourselves—and each other. 💚

Today we recognize Dawn Petterson as Wednesday Warrior. Dawn has been a Sponsor Residential Provider with SSVA since 2022, and throughout her time with the organization she has consistently demonstrated compassion, dedication, and an unwavering willingness to support others.

Dawn is someone who can always be counted on to step in and lend a helping hand whenever it is needed. She attends nearly every company event and continuously brings a positive and uplifting presence wherever she goes. Her kind heart, caring spirit, and genuine love for people makes her a joy to work alongside and a blessing to everyone fortunate enough to know her.

One of Dawn’s most admirable qualities is her ability to see the beauty, strengths, and capabilities in every individual she meets.

Monday Motivation -

As we move into our second week of Mental Health Awareness Month, I want to gently remind us of something we often overlook in the busy pace of our work and lives:

There is strength in slowing down.
In the work we do, we spend so much time supporting others—guiding, encouraging, advocating, and responding. And while that work is meaningful, it also asks a lot of our nervous systems, our energy, and our hearts. There is strength in slowing down!
Even small moments matter:
🌱 Stepping outside for fresh air
🌱 Taking three intentional breaths between tasks
🌱 Offering yourself the same kindness you give so freely to others
At SSVA, we believe in creating environments where people are supported, valued, and heard—and that includes you.💙

Tasha joined SSVA as a DSP in October of 2025 and within months, she became a DSPM. Tasha has been in the caring field since 1999! She brings more than two decades of compassion, knowledge, and commitment to her work.

Tasha’s background includes extensive experience in home health with Caring Touch, CHKD, Shore Memorial, and local nursing homes, giving her a well‑rounded skill set that supports individuals with patience, dignity, and respect. Her calm approach and genuine care help people feel safe, supported, and empowered in the community.

Family is very important to Tasha. She is a proud mother of two daughters and a loving grandmother to three grandchildren, and her strong family values are reflected in the way she supports others—always with warmth, understanding, and encouragement.

In her spare time, Tasha enjoys cooking and is also a gamer, interests that bring balance and creativity into her life. These qualities shine through in her work, helping her connect naturally with the individuals she supports.
