Human Rights:
All people have certain basic rights and each person participating in services provided by Cooperative For Human Services has the same rights as anyone without disabilities. CHS is committed to promote and protect the rights and dignity of each individual served, and assist each person annually to understand their rights and responsibilities. The Massachusetts Department of Developmental Disabilities offers a Human Rights Guide to families which also includes suggestions on advocacy for positive outcomes.
