Wow! The numbers are in. Our advocates made all the difference in securing #PABudget funding for #humanservices providers. You sent nearly 8,300 messages to lawmakers & the administration, 700+ social media messages & more. Thank you! #DirectCarePA
😮 BREAKING: Because of your work, the state provided extra funding for #humanservices providers and more money for #mentalhealth services. Thank you to all our advocates for your continued support! Human Services Workforce Crisis | Direct Care Works #DirectCarePA #PABudget
We did it! Your advocacy worked! The state's 2022/23 #PaBudget includes the most significant funding increase for mental health services in a decade to help hire & retain staff & provide in-school support for students. #DirectCarePA More via @905wesa. ⤵️wesa.fm/health-science…
With the state now reporting at $6.22 billion surplus, it is unthinkable that lawmakers, working to craft a final #PaBudget, would ignore the #workforce crisis affecting nearly every human services field. #DirectCarePA bit.ly/3OQA6vK
💙According to @NAMICommunicate, almost 100K #PAKids ages 12-17 have #depression. Many can't find the help they need due to the workforce crisis. Lawmakers can help our younger Pennsylvanians by releasing funds in the #PABudget for #DirectCarePA nami.org/NAMI/media/NAM…
Parents of #childrenwithdisabilities have given up everything help their loved ones. It’s time the legislature helps #caregiversby addressing the workforce crisis with funding for #DirectCarePA in the #PABudget. readingeagle.com/2022/06/16/dis…
🏛️Historic surplus = NO reason the #humanservices workforce can't be fully funded this #PaBudget. Pennsylvanians with #intellectualdisabilities & their service providers are counting on it. 🔊 Tell your lawmakers to release the funds for #DirectCarePA post-gazette.com/opinion/editor…
#Pennsylvania used to be a leader in disability innovation and had a strong #humanservices workforce. We can return to that status, but proper funding is needed. Lawmakers must release the funds in the #PABudget for #DirectCarePA! goerie.com/story/opinion/…
PA’s #humanservices workforce is collapsing due to chronic underfunding. Parents of #children-withdisabilities can’t find care. They need our help. Tell lawmakers to release the funds. #PABudget #DirectCarePA ydr.com/story/opinion/…
#Humanservices professionals need funding from the budget to end the workforce crisis. You can help by contacting your lawmakers before the #PABudget is finalized. Tell them to release the funds #DirectCarePA directcareworks.com/take-action
#ICYMI: The #humanservices industry cut services because they did not have enough staff to take care of their patients. This crisis must end so PA residents can get the care they need. Lawmakers must release the funds. #PABudget #DirectCarePA penncapital-star.com/commentary/pol…
More and more young people are facing a #mentalhealth crisis. Even if they want to get help many cannot because of the #humanservices workforce shortage. We can’t let young people suffer. Tell lawmakers they must release the funds. #PABudget #DirectCarePA bostonglobe.com/2022/06/12/opi…
“If you’re not doing it now, then when?” @RepDanMiller understands that the budget surplus means it’s time to invest in #healthservices professionals. Hopefully, his colleagues will too. Tell your lawmakers to release the funds. #PABudget #DirectCarePA pahouse.com/Miller/Video/?…
The #humanservices workforce crisis is still raging. Meanwhile, lawmakers are crafting next year’s budget. Take action now and tell them to release the funds! #PABudget #DirectCarePA directcareworks.com

It’s no secret that low wages are a factor in the direct support professionals workforce crisis. Their wages are below those in comparable professions and are well below a living wage. Lawmakers must act and release the funds. #PABudget #DirectCarePA publications.ici.umn.edu/community-livi…
According to NAMI, almost 450,000 PA residents live with a serious mental illness. They need professional care and help, but many cannot get it because of the workforce shortage. Tell lawmakers to release the funds. #PABudget #DirectCarePA nami.org/NAMI/media/NAM…
Lawmakers are acknowledging the workforce crisis in human services, via AP: “Meanwhile, difficulty in finding workers to care for children, the elderly and disabled has budget-makers eyeing more subsidies for those professions.” #PABudet #DirectCarePA witf.org/2022/06/13/pen…
