Self-advocacy Groups
Self-advocacy groups are organizations formed by individuals who share common experiences or challenges, such as disabilities or health conditions. These groups empower members to speak up for their rights, make decisions about their lives, and influence policies that affect them. They provide support, education, and a collective voice to promote awareness and positive change. By working together, members enhance their confidence and ensure their perspectives are heard in decision-making processes at local, regional, or national levels.
