Seen, Heard and Understood

Self Advocates stand up for the beliefs and rights of people of all abilities.

Through letter-writing campaigns, forums, rallies and other awareness-building initiatives, self advocates publicly share their unique perspectives and experiences to increase awareness in the community, as well as advocate for issues, ranging from healthcare to inclusion.

As a close group dedicated to change, Self Advocates, supported through AHRC Nassau, also offer each other advice and support on how to become more confident and experience greater empowerment in their day-to-day lives.
