Consumer Advisory Group Advocacy

The self-advocates from Merakey’s Western Region Consumer Advocacy Group have decided to let their voices be heard! They recently spent time drafting individualized letters to PA Governor Josh Shapiro to express the need for higher pay rates for their staff. Everyone is so proud of their efforts! Thank you to Jennifer Schwanke, Adult Training Facility Program Specialist, who helps to lead this group! Participants Toni, Katie, Chris, Karen, Lori, Denaya, Adam, Matt, and Chanel felt empowered by their new-found advocacy.
