Basic ones! Bit of historical context. How to recognise rights restrictions in everyday situations. What's the difference between a person's 'will and preference" and their "best interests". How to write a letter, how to make phone call, how to attend a meeting when advocating for someone.

I teach advocacy skills to health care professionals. This is my most used slide. I feel it cannot be over stated.

Well done Wendy. Our bookclub read The Benefactors and I can't wait to meet and discuss it. It was a great pick.

If you only learn one thing, please learn this.
