This is My Life Participant Success Story:

Vanessa made strides towards advocating for herself following attendance of Self-Advocacy: This is My Life workshop and working with a peer. She now speaks up for herself when she feels as if she is not receiving the services she is entitled to or if she would like to change programs.
