SARTAC Self Advocacy and Beyond Weekly Zoom Meetings

Green Mountain Self Advocates hosts national meetings on Zoom every Thursday at 1:00 ET. They have been bringing together more than 200 self-advocates from at least 32 states. Self-advocates have said, “It makes us feel like we are in a community.” This is a great opportunity to meet self-advocate leaders from across the country.

Typical Zoom Meetings Include:

The same day, time, and zoom link is used to minimize confusion. Meetings are held every Monday and Thursday at 1:00 ET.
Each session is for 1 hour.
Topics for each session have been suggested by self-advocates
We use the breakout rooms to have small group discussions. This gives self-advocates time to introduce themselves.
On occasion, we host a Talent Show which gives self-advocates an opportunity to share poetry they’ve written, play an instrument, share photography, knitting, hand-made jewelry, etc.
