Self-advocacy Assistants will support a group of self-advocates with learning disabilities and/or Autistic Spectrum Disorder. The group work revolves around the needs of the self-advocates and the topics that are most important to them. Issues and topics may be tackled creatively in a variety of ways depending on the group and the unique skills each volunteer brings.
Through discussion and activities self-advocates develop confidence, communication skills and awareness. Self-advocacy assistants and self-advocates contribute equally to discussions; learning to respect each other’s opinions.
The groups also take part in social events out in the community, such as dinners or discos. Fun is at the centre of all the work we do at Advocating Together.
Volunteers will have the opportunity to attend peer supervision and training sessions throughout the year to discuss progress or problems, and expand their knowledge and skills.
