THE MEMBERS OF PEOPLE FIRST SAY

THAT SELF ADVOCACY MEANS:

  • Feeling strong
  • Feeling good about myself
  • Respecting others rights, but speaking out for my own
  • Teaching the people who would be mean to you
  • Making my own decision about where to live and work
  • Taking chances when you know you are right. Learning from your mistakes
  • Getting all of the information
  • Deciding what you want to do
  • Finding out what and who will support you in doing what you want to do
  • Knowing your rights and responsibilities
  • Problem solving when things go wrong
  • Taking charge, and speaking out on your own behalf
