SANY Group

OPEN to the Public

Self-advocacy groups provide a supportive environment where people can develop confidence and independence while working on issues that are important to them. It is important to help each other and always try to include and value the opinion of everyone in the group.

Encouraging people to make their own choices and keeping a positive attitude helps others to become empowered to be more independent. People learn leadership skills and how to effectively communicate. The activities of self-advocacy groups reflect the wishes and decisions of the group.

Self-advocacy groups also are a place where people come together to make changes in their communities and society. People can take their problems to the policy-making and decision-making levels by working together to solve common problems, like getting access to transportation.
