Advocacy Overview: Shaping the Advocacy Agenda
Wednesday, May 22, 3 PM EST
This free introduction to advocacy will interest patients, survivors, family, friends, caregivers, and any member of the community interested in the best possible care and follow-up for cancer patients and survivors.
- You will be provided with an overview of advocacy and why it is important to use advocacy to make change.
- You will be introduced to the step-by-step process to create an actual advocacy plan that you can then use in support of your issues.
- You will understand better how to use advocacy tools specifically in the context of interacting with governments.
The impact of volunteering and taking positive action to effect change are important elements in the transition to post-treatment life.
Most cancer survivors feel there are some aspects of their cancer care and post cancer experiences that could be improved but do not know how to go about it.
Take this free opportunity to obtain insight and information from Ryan Clarke, the President of Advocacy Solutions, who is committed to providing a voice to organizations and individuals through the development and implementation of impactful advocacy strategies.
Ryan has spoken about advocacy across Canada and internationally, teaching and training thousands of people on how to make their voices heard.
How to register:
Please note that this webinar is being held on Wednesday, May 22 at 3 PM EST.
To participate, you will need to register by first sending an email to jmanthorne@survivornet.ca. CCSN will then email you the link for participating in the webinar and login instructions.
