To promote and facilitate local support groups for persons with multiple chemical sensitivity. To increase public awareness of multiple chemical sensitivity, the needs of the chemically sensitive, and to prevent new injuries through education. To encourage medical research and advocate for public policy on multiple chemical sensitivity. To sponsor educational activities addressing issues of the chemically sensitive and social events where our members can meet and socialize in an environment that accommodates their needs. MACI members are individuals who are chemically or multiply chemically sensitive, their family members and individuals dedicated to prevention of the illness.
Members are welcome to bring respirators or oxygen to increase their comfort during meetings.
Our growing membership has indicated a need for more meeting locations throughout the state. MACI would like to continue expanding our network of support groups and we would appreciate your suggestions for new locations and accessible meeting facilities. The support group meeting formats alternate between open discussions and invited speakers. We invite a variety of speakers to address the support group every other month. These programs are audio taped with permission of the speaker and are available through the MACI lending library to our members.
