What Self Advocacy
Means To Me!One day in August 2018 members of self advocacy groups from all over New South Wales to come together in Sydney to share their feelings for and experiences of self advocacy.
They expressed their experiences through stories, artwork and gestures. They talked about their life before and after self advocacy. Each person spoke of their journey, each person spoke up about the issues that were important to them and each spoke of the power of the group.
Most importantly they joined together to say "Self advocacy has changed our lives, we have a voice and we are committed to joining together to fight for others and we will not be silenced."
