About Self Advocacy

Self Advocacy is about the ability to speak up for yourself effectively, to get yourself heard.  

There are lots of reasons why people find it difficult to be heard, which is why advocates exist.

We want to help people advocate for themselves where ever possible, and we run sessions to help people learn the skills to get their voice heard.

The half day programme helps you to: 

• RECOGNISE how to identify needs and preferences 
• REFLECT on previous experiences of not being heard 
• OVERCOME some of the barriers to self advocacy
• LEARN in a safe and comfortable environment
