Self Advocacy, Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 4:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Self-Advocacy Training is designed for both parents and youth participants. Young people will learn how to empower themselves by taking charge of their own lives and advocate for themselves in various situations including work, school, and the community. It will also include activities to build youth self-esteem.
Parents will learn how to let their children take better control of their own destinies and become more independent, while still providing support and guidance. And, parents will learn tips for effective parent–teen communications and will be provided with valuable information about youth resources. Workshops for both groups will be interactive and fun!
