Tens of thousands of Canadian families face advocacy challenges every day, dealing with schools, health institutions, the justice system, corporations and all levels of government.  While the issues and circumstances vary widely, the essential elements of effective advocacy are common to most of them. This workshop provides participants with mindsets, ideas, skills and tools to improve their effectiveness in advocating on behalf of their family members. It also connects participants to a series of  subsequent webinar training opportunities and mentoring / coaching designed to assistant participants hone their advocacy skills.

• Thinking Like a Movement
• The Art of Strategy
• Understanding the Political and Public Policy Environment
• A Template for Family Advocacy Planning

At present, this session is available only in full-day live-in-person workshop format.
