Advocacy

Semiahmoo House Society Self-Advocate Group

Self-Advocates are people who speak out for themselves and others to ensure that their rights and needs are recognized and met. At Semiahmoo House Society, we have had a Self-Advocate group for many years. We meet every fourth Tuesday of the month from 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. We talk about issues that worry us and try to come up with ideas to make life better for us. In addition, we plan fundraisers and activities such as dances for the community and other Self-Advocate members.
