Thrive Support & Advocacy, formerly known as Greater Marlboro Programs, Inc. (GMPI), has been dedicated for over forty years to fostering the personal growth, dignity, and acceptance of individuals with developmental disabilities in the Metrowest area. Originating as a grassroots movement by a group of compassionate parents in the 1970s, the organization's commitment to keeping family members with disabilities engaged in the community set a pioneering precedent in the care landscape.
GMPI's innovative approach led to the establishment of early respite care structures and subsequently gained recognition from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, marking the beginning of a partnership that catalyzed the expansion of the organization's services. Transitioning to Thrive Support & Advocacy in 2016, the organization's evolution echoes its enduring ethos of prioritizing individuals' abilities and empowering them to reach their fullest potential with the support they deserve.
Renowned for its proactive stance and unwavering dedication to the rights of individuals with developmental disabilities, Thrive Support & Advocacy continues to forge ahead with an optimistic outlook. Embracing the legacy of its visionary founders, the organization remains steadfast in its mission to champion respect, self-direction, equality, growth, safety, and community engagement for all those under its care.
