*New* Self-Advocacy Workshop Part Two: Finding Your Voice
October 10 @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Building on what we learned in Self-advocacy Part One, this session will provide practical tips and strategies for you to practice effectively communicating your needs with others. When you have an understanding of what’s important to you, you can clearly communicate, set boundaries and make decisions that align with your beliefs and goals.
This session is one of a new series of two drop-in workshops designed to provide Autistic and neurodivergent individuals opportunities to learn about self-advocacy and practice skills essential to learning to speak up for yourself confidently. Each 90-minute workshop will cover different aspects of self-advocating and provide information, tips and strategies intended to help in day-to-day social situations.
There is no cost to attend these sessions.

*NEW* Self-Advocacy Part One – Knowing Yourself
You’ve probably heard the phrase “Self-advocacy” before, but do you know what it is and how to do it? Self-advocacy is expressing your needs and preferences in a way that ensures your voice is heard in the decisions that impact your life. An important first step to self-advocacy is understanding the barriers you face and the strengths you bring to each situation. The information provided in this session will enhance your ability to self-advocate.

Building on what we learned in Part One, this session will provide practical tips and strategies for you to practice effectively communicating your needs with others. When you have an understanding of what’s important to you, you can clearly communicate, set boundaries and make decisions that align with your beliefs and goals.
