SELF ADVOCACY

self advocacy photoOrganizations like IMPACT cannot be all things to all people. We cannot take up every individual’s cause. Our advocacy efforts are more focused on broad issues and systems change, not on an individual’s personal issues. It is critical that individuals learn the skills to be their own advocates. Self advocacy services are intended to support and enhance an individual’s ability to be assertive when faced with obstacles in pursuit of independent living goals.
