Skills Trainers work directly with consumers to support independent living through hands on coaching, advocacy, and community based support. It is meaningful work that helps people live with greater choice and autonomy.

Freedom. Access. Community.

Freedom. Access. Community.

Stavros helps disabled people across Western Massachusetts live independently and on their own terms. We provide resources, advocacy, and peer support so that every person can make their own choices about where and how they live.

From personal care assistance and wheelchair repair to housing navigation, benefits counseling, and transition planning, our staff and volunteers work side by side with consumers to remove barriers—not build them.

We believe in access, not charity. Independence is a right, not a reward.

Our Services

Income and Health Care

Getting the right medical care can be a challenge for anyone, but people with disabilities face denials of basic coverage, services, and equipment on a regular basis. Stavros advocates understand the rights of disabled people and their protection under the law, and they know how to fight to get the right care.

Housing and Mobility

Finding affordable, accessible housing can be one of the biggest challenges faced by persons with disabilities. The rent at many apartments is out of reach for many persons with disabilities. At Stavros, we provide the resources and assistance people need to find housing that works for them.

Independence at Home

Adding new features to bathrooms or kitchens or adding an outdoor ramp can make the difference between dependence and independence. Wheelchair ramps provide people with disabilities and their families the ability to remain at home and be part of the community.
