Make Your Voice Heard. SHARE YOUR CONCERNS.

Do you experience Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) and use services provided through the Oregon Department of Human Services? Do you provide supports or care to an adult or child who experiences I/DD and receives Medicaid services?

Do you have concerns about the current workforce crisis? Maybe you're struggling to find and keep caregivers. Or maybe you are a paid caregiver, and the wages and benefits just aren't sufficient. 

If so, UCP Oregon wants to hear from you. Share your concerns. Make sure your voice is being heard. A collective voice is a strong voice.

UCP Oregon, along with customer and advocate, John Griffiths, is partnering with several area groups, including:
​

• Self Advocates Taking Action 
• Build a Movement
• Speak Up, Speak Out

We're all working together to collect stories and assist you to take action. Make sure your voice is heard!
