The ABCs of Advocacy: Moving from Me to We
Christina Clift
Session Overview:
Many people with disabilities have the same problem, and they are only worried about getting their own situation fixed. What if you could get these same individuals to act together in a group to solve the problem for everyone? In order to do this, you have to move them from the “me” to “we” mindset. The ABCs of Advocacy will navigate you through this process.
