You are invited to join us in a National Conversation on Advising Self-Advocacy Groups!
The self-advocacy movement has grown stronger over the years and is here to stay. Success, though, often depends on self-advocates getting the support they need. This support is offered by individuals called “advisors.” We understand that advising a self-advocacy group is not always easy. Advisors want to be helpful. But sometimes advisors give too much help, or too little. And sometimes advisors don’t give the right kind of help at all. Anybody who advises a self-advocacy group understands how rewarding it can be… and how hard!

* How is the relationship between self-advocates and their advisors evolving?
* What support do advisors need to do their job well?
* What indicators can we use to describe "good" advising?

Begins at 3 pm est/1 pm Mountain runs for approximately 90 minutes.
Costs: $25 per phone
