Effective Advocacy for Peer Support Specialists: Becoming the Champion of Change

This course will run from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM on January 19, 21, 26, and 28. The course will be held online to allow for Covid-19 precautions.

If we learned anything from our history books, it’s these two things: we need vigilant advocacy to keep our society true to its citizens and that well‐planned advocacy works to change the hearts and minds of society. Peer and family support professionals have a specialized tool for advocacy: Our Story. Our story has the power to change laws, policies, and systems. Our story has the power to help us get our personal needs met. Our story has the power to demonstrate all the possibilities others can achieve through self‐advocacy. In this course, you will explore all the different forms of advocacy and develop a deep sense of how to respond when things aren’t as they should be.
