2022 HCBS Conference DSW's TikTok Challenge

At the 2022 HCBS Conference, ADvancing States will be hosting a panel discussion of direct service workers (DSW) and direct service professionals (DSP) to highlight the crucial work they perform daily to support the aging and disabilities community.

With the attention that was gained from the 2018 "This is Me" video contest, we want to expand our outreach through popular social media channels such as TikTok and Instagram.

​We are asking DSW's and DSP's to create a "day-in-the-life" video on either TikTok or Instagram to showcase the tasks and responsibilities they perform to ensure the well-being of their clients. Some of these activities may include cooking, cleaning, administering necessary medication, or accompanying individuals on community activities.
 
The first prize winner will receive an all expense-paid trip to the 2022 HCBS Conference for themselves and one of their clients along with a $2,500 prize, the second prize winner will receive $1,000, and the third prize winner will receive $500.
 
The deadline to submit a video is Friday, July 22, 2022.
