Be Part of a Regional Resource Council

What do you know about Participant-Directed Services?

• Do you have stories about your life using PDS?
• Do you want more people with disabilities to have choice and control in their lives?
• Do you want to help make PDS better in Pennsylvania?

We need people who know about PDS who can:

• Share what works well
• Tell what isn't working well
• Talk about what needs to work better
• Work on ways to share information
• Build trainings
• Teach people

People who want to do these things can be part of a group called Regional Resource Councils. These councils will get support from the project staff to do this work through:

• Meeting monthly by phone or webinar
• In-person meetings about every three months
• Listening to you about what you think your area, or region, needs
• Helping you do the things you think your region, or area, needs
• Training on what you think you and your region need
• Talking about your ideas, and how they can be shared to make change

Do you have questions, or want to learn more?
Could you be a great Regional Resource Council member?
