I highlight that self-advocacy can manifest in various ways, such as asking for help, setting boundaries, or communicating when you feel overwhelmed. Throughout our group sessions, we will touch on related topics like communication and boundaries, which are essential for empowerment. I encourage everyone to reflect on their experiences, especially if you've faced challenges with professionals like psychiatrists, and to consider how you might advocate for yourself in those situations.
