Item #090 $149.95
How Ordinary People Can Use Power to Make Change
One of the main goals of the self-advocacy movement is self-determination and choice – I decide what’s best for me. Unfortunately, self-advocates are often thwarted when pursuing this goal. Why? The short answer is power. They lack the power to get what they want. Instead they find themselves up against systems and/or individuals with superior power.
This self-led workshop addresses: “What is Power?”, “What are the different types of power and how do they work?”, and “Which types of power are available to ordinary people?” Using this new knowledge, participants will explore the power of working with each other and believing in themselves.
Recommended Audience
