Words have power. Too often, we fall into the trap of using deficit language - focusing on what someone can’t do. Think about how you’d describe yourself, a colleague, close friend or family member. You’d highlight their qualities, interests, and strengths. We should always extend this same courtesy to everyone. By choosing our words with care and respect, we can foster a more inclusive world for everyone.

By working on our self-advocacy strengths, we are not just advocating for ourselves today – we are building a foundation for a lifetime of empowerment and self-determination. So, keep speaking up, keep learning, and keep growing!

Three top components of self-advocacy are:
1. Know yourself: Understand your strengths, challenges, needs, and rights.
2. Communicate: Express your thoughts, needs, and concerns.
3. Find solutions and take action: Make informed decisions and take steps to address your needs. Be persistent in pursuing your goals!

[ALT text: Empower Yourself]

11/18/2024

Self-advocacy is a vital life skill for everyone. As we navigate school, work, relationships, and life challenges, the need to advocate for ourselves never diminishes. In fact, it becomes even more important as we take on more responsibilities and face increasingly complex situations.
