| What is
SELF ADVOCACY ?
Self Advocacy is about people
making choices and speaking up for themselves.
Sometimes it can be
difficult to do this, so it can be helpful to join a group of other
people who also want to speak up. Being part of a group can increase
a person's confidence and it is also a good way to meet new people
and make new friends. Social activities are often arranged with
group members meeting for a meal or visiting the shops.
Self Advocacy groups are also
used as part of the Social Services consultation process in the
delivery of new services. The group members are asked to discuss and
let their views be known on issues such as work, health and housing.
