Advocating for Yourself and Your Well-being

Advocating for Yourself and Your Well-being

This workshop is intended for an inclusive audience to help students build on their own existing skills and to identify moments when self-advocacy might benefit them. Taking a strengths-based and culturally sensitive lens, the goal of this workshop is to empower students in navigating challenges while weighing the risks and benefits of doing so. Examples of challenges can include conflict with academic supervisors, communicating needs with professors, and navigating the healthcare system). Students will have an opportunity to develop and practice various self-advocacy skills, reflect on ways to overcome internal and external barriers, and learn about resources/supports they can access.  This workshop will be co-led by two facilitators from the Student Wellness Hub, Access Advisor, Connie Lee and Local Wellness Advisor, Angela Ahenkorah.Ìý
