Advocacy & Empowerment Session
July 10th, 2021 at 11 AM PST
The Advocacy and Empowerment Program is created for all stakeholders: clients & families, caregivers, medical students, medical professionals, and advocates. It is designed to explore advocacy and educate to be empowered.
The Advocacy and Empowerment Program consists of one 3 hour webinar designed to empower attendees with core educational content on SCD (Sickle Cell Disease); pain management; emergency preparedness, and the exploration of self-advocacy.
There will be a variety of presenters’ clients, nurses, physicians, medical professionals, and business professionals sharing and discussing important issues that affect the sickle cell community. It is SCAA's hope that these sessions will help to create a clearer understanding of all the stakeholders' roles as we develop a better perception.
Due to COVID-19 all of the sessions will be conducted thru Zoom video conference until such time we can meet in person. The sign on information will be sent to you through Evite. You will also receive a recording of the zoom session.
