Webinar: Advocating For Yourself In Healthcare
2026-05-19 10:00 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | MI
Navigating the healthcare system can be challenging — especially for people with disabilities who too often encounter bias, barriers, and assumptions. This engaging and empowering presentation helps participants learn how to confidently advocate for their health and well-being in medical settings. Through real-life examples and practical tools, we’ll explore how to communicate effectively, recognize medical ableism, and build strong relationships with providers. Participants will also learn strategies for preparing for appointments, tracking symptoms, and understanding their patient rights. Whether you’re new to self-advocacy or looking to strengthen your skills, this session offers the knowledge and confidence to take charge of your healthcare journey.
This webinar is being offered at the following times:
