Build advocacy skills this Saturday

Summer is a great time for building your skills to be an effective Parent Advocate for your child. On Saturday, July 10, at 10:00AM a two-hour workshop in Chicago will offer families ways to effectively advocate in many different situations with a variety of agencies and systems of care or services.

What will you learn?
- What advocacy means;
- How to improve your advocacy skills; and
- How you can make a difference for your family member.

Almost every week I hear that school personnel hate to hear the word "advocacy". Use of a more politically-correct term is recommended, so "they" don't get upset.

Well, folks, you can pussy-foot around the issue, or you can stand up for your child. When you stand for your child, you are standing up for all children.
