Join MASS’s Supported Decision-Making Task Force!
MASSACHUSETTS ADVOCATES STANDING STRONG (MASS) is a statewide self-advocacy organization. In 2017, MASS formed a special group of self-advocates called a “task force” to work on supported decision-making, or “SDM,” for short.
SUPPORTED DECISION-MAKING (SDM) is an important tool that self-advocates can use to make their own life choices and get help from others they trust. All persons with disabilities have a right to make their own decisions and get support if they want.
THE TASK FORCE has educated self-advocates across the state on SDM, developed SDM tools for self-advocates, helped self-advocates to use SDM in their lives, researched self-advocates’ views about SDM, and advocated for new SDM laws and policies.
GET INVOLVED in the MASS SDM Task Force, by becoming a member. If you choose to join the task force, you can:
- LEARN about SDM
- TRAIN others about SDM
- HELP others make their own SDM agreements
- ADVOCATE for laws and policies on SDM
