Health Self Advocacy
Be your own advocate
Everyone has the right to good health
Regardless of your background, knowing how to be a self-advocate is essential. Self-advocacy is the ability to speak-up for yourself and the things that are important to you. Self-advocacy means you are able to ask for what you need and want and tell people about your thoughts and feelings.
