Please join Rosy Tellez of Disability Rights California for some training on self-advocacy. Self-Advocacy is being able to speak up for yourself, make your own decisions, gather information, establish support, understand your rights and responsibilities, problem solving, and more. It is a key step towards independence and can help you manage your anger by learning how address your needs in a positive way.
Join this webinar to learn how to develop a Self - Advocacy Action plan and successfully carry out the plan. Learn to identify your own strengths and how you can take steps on your new Self – Advocacy journey. During this presentation, we will discuss:
- What is Self- Advocacy?
- Why is it Important?
- Steps Toward Self- Advocacy
- Self- Advocacy in Action
