Self-Advocacy and Assertiveness

Workshops for Youth Ages 10+

Self-Advocacy and Assertiveness

Self-advocacy is learning how to speak up for yourself and make your own decisions about your life. It is about learning how to get information and expressing yourself appropriately. It involves knowing your rights and responsibilities and problem solving. Join your peers to discuss these topics in a safe environment. Learn about different styles of communication (passive, aggressive and assertive) and discuss skills and strategies to be more assertive. Practice, role-play and video modelling are part of this session.
