Services - Hammer's Advocates

Hammer has a self-advocacy group called Power People, which works on issues important to individuals with disabilities. This talented group recently finished a large project focused on their Bill of Rights. They produced a video that not only displayed the freedoms they enjoy, but also the responsibilities that come with those specific freedoms.

It is important for people, especially people with disabilities, to learn how to work for greater freedom. Hammer uses these services to enable the individuals they support to achieve greater freedom, end oppressive laws, and to exercise their given rights.

                                

"What Advocacy Means to Me"
by Barb Neal, advocate

"I love going to my Advocacy Group Meetings. At these meetings, we talk about things-like our rights. I have a right to say no when I don't want to do something. I have a right to enjoy my life. We also learn that we can help other people too. The Advocacy meetings are fun because I can see and talk to lots of other people from Hammer.
I feel like I am a very special person."
