Advocacy Steps and Effective Communication

Please join the Family Resource Network and Starbridge for a Lay Advocacy Training:

Advocacy Steps and Effective Communication

Do you come away from meetings not saying what you intended or feeling as though your viewpoint is misunderstood? Do you listen to what other team members say? How do you respond? Communication is key to effective partnerships. Learn to recognize the barriers in communication that can get in the way of collaboration and positive outcomes. Strengthen your advocacy skills by learning effective and collaborative communication strategies.

• Identify barriers to effective communication 
• Learn techniques to remove barriers 
• Learn elements for effective teamwork and positive interactions
