Self Advocacy Training
Building Confidence, One Step at a Time
At Mayah’s Legacy, we help women, families and community leaders feel more confident speaking up for themselves and supporting others.
Our Self-Advocacy Training Programme teaches people simple and practical ways to speak up, ask questions, be clear about what they need and communicate it confidently.
This could be at a doctor’s appointment, in hospital, when dealing with a health issue, trying to get a diagnosis, facing a community issue or supporting someone who needs help.
We also offer this training to health and social care practitioners, organisations, and frontline staff.
This course is CPD accredited
We’re building confidence rooted in empathy.
Here’s how we do it
Building Confidence
We help families and women feel sure of themselves when it comes to their health. This means teaching them how to ask the right questions, understand their rights, and speak up during medical appointments.
Self-Advocacy Skills
We show families and women how to stand up for their health needs. They learn how to express themselves clearly, ask for the care they need, and make informed decisions about their health.
Supporting Each Other
We train families and women to be there for others during appointments. As Sister Advocates, they provide emotional support and help their peers feel more comfortable speaking up about their health.
Creating a Safe Space
We teach families and women how to make sure others feel heard and supported. Our Sister Advocates create a safe space where thry can openly talk about their health without fear of judgment.
Through this training, we are building a community of women who feel confident and capable in managing their health and supporting one another. At Mayah’s Legacy, we believe that when women support women, we can all thrive.
