self-advocacy programs

Self-advocacy programs teach individuals to effectively communicate their needs, preferences, and rights, especially in educational, workplace, or healthcare settings. These programs empower people to understand their strengths and challenges, make informed decisions, and stand up for themselves. By building confidence and skills like assertiveness and problem-solving, participants can better navigate systems, access supportive resources, and ensure their voices are heard. Ultimately, self-advocacy fosters independence and promotes active participation in shaping one’s own life and opportunities.
