Self-Advocacy Group
Advocating for Change, Together
Established in 2005, our Self-Advocacy Group, an official chapter of People First of CT, empowers adults with disabilities to advocate for themselves and others. It is a community where every individual is respected for their abilities and treated as an equal. The group provides a platform for members to gain confidence, build leadership skills, and create positive change.
Our Approach
This group, affectionately known as “Together We Can,” offers a supportive environment where members can learn to speak up and share their perspectives. Monthly meetings feature engaging guest speakers and discussions on topics that matter to members, such as:
- Employment and career development
- Living independently in the community
- Personal health and well-being
- Civic engagement and legislative awareness
- Leisure and recreational activities
Beyond the meetings, the group also organizes community service projects, collecting items for local people and organizations in need.
Join Us!
Our group meets monthly, typically on the fourth Wednesday of the month, from 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm.
