Get Fired Up's Podcast
Self-direction is one of the most empowering programs in disability services. It's also one of the least talked about.
Get Fired Up is hosted by Cindy and Jamie from Community Horizons, a support broker agency in Wisconsin that helps people with disabilities hire and manage their own caregivers. We're here to change the conversation around self-directed care, for the people living it, the people working in it, and the people who've never heard of it.
