It’s the last day of May and Mental Health Awareness Month, and at this time we would like to recognize Amber Simonds! 💚👏 Amber is a Behavior Intervention Specialist (BIS) at Liberty ARC. “Working with the people we support is meaningful to me because it gives me a sense of purpose and the ability to contribute to positive change,” Amber said of what it means to her to work as BIS with the agency. Thank you, Amber, for your work with the people supported at Liberty ARC! #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #IamLiberty #LibertyARC #GrowTogether (fb)

Please help us in congratulating Patty Cionek on her retirement! 💜🎊 Patty is a Team Lead at Liberty ARC for Day Habilitation and today is her last day of her 39-year career with the agency. A party was thrown to celebrate Patty and to send her off into this fun, new life chapter. Over the years, Patty has worked in many roles throughout the various departments within Liberty ARC. This includes working as a Direct Support Professional in Residential and Family Support Services, Med Transport, Supervisor of the agency’s Supportive Apartments, a Dental Assistant for Liberty ARC’s subsidiary, New Dimensions in Health Care, and a Lead Charge in the Community Connections Day Hab program. With such a long history with the agency, Patty was also able witness the children she once supported grown into the thriving adults they are today. “What I have loved most about my time with Liberty is the people that surrounded me every day at work, both those we support and co-workers,” Patty said. “Everyone becomes family and I will miss these relationships very much. One of my favorite memories is when the people I supported in Community Connections, where able to get jobs in the community. I was so proud of them and knew they could do it.” We wish you the best of luck, Patty, and thank you for your many years of service to Liberty ARC! #IamLiberty #LibertyARC #GrowTogether (fb)
