WHAT IS VOICES IN ACTION?
Whether you are a consumer, family member or service provider, everyone has a story to tell. But how and where does one begin? Voices in Action is a FREE interactive training that teaches you the skills to effectively tell your story of mental illness in order to inspire change. The hour and a half long, step-by-step training helps you develop a concise, effective version of your personal story to use as the foundation of your advocacy in order to build knowledge, confidence and competence in basic legislative advocacy skills. Learn how to write emails, make phone calls and have in-person meetings with policymakers that make a difference!
