  • 1.  Speaker Recommendation - Lived Experience and Advocacy

    Posted 10-19-2020 17:46
    Does anyone have a recommendation for a speaker on using one's lived experience as a foundation for advocacy? 

    This is for a virtual legislative advocacy event with an audience of staff and peers. 

    Thanks,

    Julie

    Julie,

    I may be a bit late on this, but check out Dr. Daniel Fisher.   He is with the National Empowerment Center in MA.  He is both a consumer of services and a practicing psychiatrist.

    We have invited him to our NJPRA annual conferences on 2 occasions and our attendees have thoroughly enjoyed his talks.

     

    Kind Regards,

    Kim
