Join us for a full day of advocacy and skills training for parents, family members and caregivers who have children with disabilities and/or special health care needs.
We start the day by learning about why family advocacy is important and hear from policy experts. We then spend time crafting and practicing our message and then go to the Capitol to meet with our own legislators. We end the day with a debrief & “Next Steps” session.
Thank you to our 2020 Sponsors!
Advocacy for Change is a great way for people to get involved with decision making. And for me, it was important to hear what issues my constituents face and how to address them.

As a student nurse, it made a huge impact to hear from the families. We see things from the clinical side all the time and it’s so easy to forget that people’s lives keep on going outside of the hospital. This gave me a renewed appreciation for the unbelievable effort and the challenging situations that these families experience every single day. Thanks again for the opportunity to join!
