On Our Own: Becoming a Personal Advocate
March 30, 8 p.m., New Cabell 489
The role of a personal advocate is to provide assistance, encouragement, and support
to an assigned member. Personal Advocates meet weekly to receive
training, support each other, get advice from peers and staff, and learn
about many resources around the area to assist members. The event will
be facilitated by Erin Tucker, Executive Director of On Our Own, a local nonprofit
organized to support community members with mental illness. She will
discuss opportunities to become a Personal Advocate.
