✨Self Advocate Spotlight✨

This week we are celebrating the achievements of Michelle, one of our self advocates.

Michelle is learning new ways to speak up for herself, and she said it has gotten better since joining Self Advocacy Sydney.

Through our New Leaders, Peer Support and Self Advocacy program, she has found a supportive space to express herself and be heard.

Michelle said, “I felt that my voice has been heard, and now I feel that I can speak up in a safe environment with no judgement.”

We are excited to see Michelle continue building her confidence and finding her voice.
