SUMMARY:Self-advocacy Workshop Part One: Knowing Yourself
DESCRIPTION:You’ve probably heard the word “Self-advocacy” before\, but do you know what it is and how to do it? \n\n\n\nSelf-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.  \n\n\n\nIn this session\, you will learn what self-advocacy is and how can it benefit you. This session will also help you understand your strengths and some of the barriers you face. This knowledge will enhance your ability to self-advocate. \n\n\n\nThis session is one of a new series of three 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. \n\n\n\nAs these sessions build on each other\, attending all three is strongly recommended\, but not required. \n\n\n\nThere is no cost to attend these sessions and you don’t need to register in advance.  \n\n\n\nIf attending in-person isn’t possible for you\, you can also choose to attend virtually via Sinneave Connects\, our online learning portal. Sinneave Connects is FREE\, but you must register for an account to use it. \n\n\n\nIf you already have a Connects account\, just log in as usual. If you have not registered yet\, it’s easy!
