AFTER I AM GONE is a new initiative from The Arc of Massachusetts designed to support aging caregivers who are planning for the future care of their loved one with a disability. It provides tools, guidance, and a structured approach to help families think through important questions about long-term support, decision-making, and quality of life. The initiative emphasizes person-centered planning, focusing on the individual’s goals, preferences, and support needs, while helping caregivers prepare a plan that can be carried forward when they are no longer able to provide direct support.

FRIES: Consent Makes Relationships Stronger

FRIES: Consent Makes Relationships Stronger

# data[].attributes.body
Consent is giving permission for something to happen to you, your body, or your belongings. It is an agreement that something is OK. The pillars of consent can be remembered with the acronym FRIES:

F: Consent must be Freely Given without pressure.

R: Consent is Reversible. At any time, the person giving consent can change their mind.

I: The person giving consent must be Informed about what they’re consenting to.

E: Their “yes” must be Enthusiastic. “I don’t know” means no, and no answer means no. Only “yes” means yes.

S: Consent is for something Specific– meaning consenting to one thing (e.g. kissing) does not mean consent to another (e.g. touching).

Consent is the key to a healthy and loving relationship of any kind. Learning how to say “no” and learning how to deal with someone else’s “no” in a respectful way will open the door to strong and fulfilling relationships.
