Adult Protective Services

Please communicate with your State Senator and Representative this week about the need to include start-up funds for Adult Protective Services in next year’s budget.  We need to build a groundswell of support to be noticed in this busy budget season.

OUR MISSION

To assist and empower people with disabilities and their families to seek quality and satisfaction in their lives as well as equal access to supports and services

We BELIEVE that all people have a right to live a happy and meaningful life, which includes:

• The power, authority, and resources to control their own destiny
• A sense of belonging and acceptance for who they are
• Being treated with dignity and respect
• The chance to participate as valued members of their community
• Options, creativity and security in their everyday lives
• Meaningful and loving personal relationships
• The opportunity to express their own spirituality
• Access to good health care
  
  A vision grounded firmly in community.

The torch must be carried by the parents of the younger generation. The tools I give to them to overcome their obstacles are the following: never-ending hope, perseverance and the unequivocal belief that all people are created equal.
