Standing Up for Your Rights means learning to actively do something in your own best interest. This is also known as self-advocacy.

After listening to this section of the Toolbox, you will be better prepared to:

  • Feel more in control of your life
  • Build confidence to face challenges that seem too difficult to overcome
  • Reach out to others, such as asking to talk to someone who is in a similar situation
  • Feel hopeful rather than hopeless and helpless.

You can also download the free resource guide (pdf). To order the free CD version of the Toolbox, fill out our online form or call 877.NCCS.YES.
