Yesterday Amanda attended the National Self Advocacy Day event in Collingwood Town Hall in Melbourne, hosted by SARU.

Amanda spoke on stage about her self-advocacy journey.

Her self-advocacy story has led her to be part of many opportunities such as:
- Celebrating 5 years at SACID!
- Being the MC at the Leading Through Inclusion conference.
- Being in the co-design group for the Self Advocacy For Everyone Helpdesk website!
- Getting to travel for work to events like this!

Amanda said her 1 of her tips for self-advocacy is to give yourself positive self-talk like, "You matter" and "Your life is important." :)

We have had some lovely feedback from our recent My Support workshops! 💜

On 22 September, we delivered My Support at Novita! Participants told us the workshop helped them feel more confident talking about different things with their support workers.

One participant also shared:

❤️ “You are doing a great job. Thank you for helping me think about other stuff. There are many things I can do.”

We love hearing how people are using what they learn in our workshops to speak up, make choices and feel more confident with their supports.
