Navigating the Journey of Self Advocacy
In this episode of Unstoppable Futures, Nathan, Johan, and Jeremy discuss the importance of self advocacy, particularly for youth and young adults. They explore what self advocacy means, how to effectively advocate for oneself and others, and the resources available for learning these skills. The conversation emphasizes the significance of sharing personal stories, building a support network, and the challenges of misinformation in today's digital age and the importance of staying informed and curious. The hosts encourage listeners to practice advocacy in smaller settings and to always seek help when needed.
