Self-Advocacy in Healthcare

Free for all Virginians! REGISTER at: https://www.the5bridges.com/self-advocacy-in-healthcare

If you’ve ever been rushed, intimidated, or pressured during a healthcare appointment, you know what it’s like to feel that your voice isn’t being heard by your provider. But what if you could feel confident in sharing your thoughts, asking informed questions, and treated as a respected collaborator in your health? Learning how to advocate for yourself is a key step in taking charge of your wellness. In this workshop, we’ll explore:

· 3 easy-to-remember questions to always ask

· Building the relationship you want with your healthcare provider

· Addressing barriers to quality communication

· Strategies for approaching tough conversations effectively
