Living Well in the Community – Advocacy

Mounting Horizons (MHI) will present Living Well in the Community (LWC) Peer Supported workshops about setting and working on quality-of-life goals. Advocacy is Week 10 of 11. Self-advocacy and systems advocacy are powerful tools that can help people get their needs met to experience improved quality of life. Advocacy requires combining all the skills of goal setting, effective communication, building support and problem solving, finding and using information, and managing health to maintain energy and stamina along the way. With MHI Facilitator support, in this session participants practice identifying a community need, making a plan, and working together to get needs met.
