This in-person event is for people with disabilities (self-advocates), direct support professionals, family members/other supporters, and professionals/providers. Maryland's statewide self-advocacy organization People On the Go Maryland (POG) is hosting this conference, and the theme this year is "Breaking Barriers: The Mission of an Advocate."

A chance for members to gather virtually and/or in person to catch up on People On the Go updates, news, and events. This will be an in-person/hybrid meeting at TBA, and is open to all members.

Participate in a “Train the Trainer” session to learn how to facilitate sessions with other advocacy groups.

Emotions and body language are key elements of how we communicate with others. During this Project STIR module, you will learn effective ways of communication for both the in-person and the virtual setting. The trainers will share ways of being assertive during communication so that others can see you as independent and capable of making decisions about your life. Listening skills will also be discussed.

Problem solving is an important skill to have so that we can make our own decisions. When we make a decision, we have to think about all the options and the consequences of those options. Problem solving skills help us to work through difficult situations. In this Project STIR module, you will learn how to recognize your emotions, and the influence they have on decision-making. Our trainers will share problem-solving steps that can help guide decision-making in difficult situations.

What is the difference between a right and responsibility? You have certain rights about where you chose to live, what accommodations you receive at work, and how you chose to spend time with others. During this Project STIR module, our trainers will help you identify your rights and the responsibilities that come with them. The trainers will also cover the topic of self-determination.
