Accepted Answer

Question 3

Can a support person come with me?

Accepted Answer

Yes, though we ask that the supporter to remember that this meeting is for you and other self-advocates. Please respect this.

Question 4

What do we talk about at the Statewide Drop-Ins?

Accepted Answer

We talk about a variety of things, & have lots of fun doing it with topics related to self-advocacy. So we might talk about stuff coming up, legislation, and talk about issues that come up for us in everyday life.

Question 5

Who runs the meetings?

Accepted Answer

Regional Coordinators, Facilitators, Officers, and Peer Trainers help with running the Statewide Drop-In meetings.

Question 6

What if I want to be friends with someone at the meeting?

Accepted Answer

One of the great things about MASS is that people make friends at their meetings. We do want to be respectful of other people, though, as not everyone is interested in friendship. One good way of doing things is offering someone your information, rather than asking them for theirs.

Question 7

Cool. Does it cost money?

Accepted Answer

Statewide Drop-In meetings do not usually cost money. Sometimes we have events with food and we might ask for a small donation to cover those costs.

Question 8

This all sounds really great. How do I get involved?

Accepted Answer

There are multiple ways you can get involved! You can go to our events calendar to pick the meeting you want to attend. Some meetings ask that you RSVP. Some meetings you can just show up to. You can also reach out to a regional coordinator or facilitator ahead of time to learn more.

Question 9

I'm ready to get started!

Accepted Answer

Great! We look forward to seeing you at the meetings.
