People First

People First focuses on self-advocacy

Founded in April 2013, People First of Putnam County, Chapter 70, began by training 30 people who were interested in learning more about self-advocacy in the community in which they work and live. Part of self-advocacy is speaking up and having a voice for not only themselves but for others who struggle with speaking up.

Committed to giving back

People First is also very committed to giving back to their community demonstrated through various service projects. Following training, four officers are selected by their peers to lead the chapter. This Chapter continues to thrive and new officers are elected every 2 years. All individuals 18 and over are welcome to attend meetings held by People First, and anyone interested should call an Advisor listed below for details.

The PCBDD staff will be working remotely today. The team will be available through normal communication methods.
