🎉 Event Overview:
Advocacy happens in everyday moments — navigating healthcare, speaking up for your needs, or supporting others. It can be challenging to use your voice when lived experience isn’t fully understood.
Join us to build practical advocacy skills, strengthen communication, and turn ideas into shared action. Through interactive, real‑world sessions, you’ll gain tools to lead confidently and help create more inclusive communities.
This conference is for people with lived experience and the support people, family members, and others who walk alongside them. Together, we’ll explore ways to strengthen self‑advocacy, share power, and build confidence across different settings.
