Since 1994, MERIL has been committed to empowering individuals with disabilities throughout Northwest Missouri. With a team and board that were more than half having personal experience with a disability, MERIL offers a unique perspective that emphasizes respect, understanding, and the recognition of each person’s abilities.
Through five core services: information and referral, independent living skills training, transition services, peer support, and advocacy, MERIL equips people with the tools and resources they need to live independently, achieve personal goals, and fully participate in their communities.
