At the Center for Family Support, we want to ensure everyone we support has the tools they need to be strong self-advocates. Self-advocacy essentially means speaking up for yourself and making sure your life is lived how you want.
You can use the links and documents in this Advocacy Center as a starting point in your journey towards self-advocacy. If you have questions or want to learn more, reach out to our Innovative Planning and Advocacy Department at InnovativeTeam@cfsny.org.
