Advocacy & Empowerment Session
February 13th, 2021 11 AM PST
This is the program for you!
Welcome
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 3 one hour workshops designed to empower attendees with core educational content on SCD (Sickle Cell Disease) and the exploration of self-advocacy.
Further into the session is the implementation of the educational content learned, with journaling, role playing, and discussions pertaining to real-world experiences.
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.
*Upon completion of 5 or more sessions you will receive a Health & Wellness Bag, Hertz Nazaire T-shirt & Coloring Books
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.
