Public Events

Join us for a panel discussion with advocates and family members, served by CCOs across the state. They will be sharing stories about their advocacy journey, experiences with legislators, why its important to raise awareness, and what may lie ahead.

Calling all self-advocates! Join us for our virtual Peer Empowerment Group to meet and gather with fellow self-advocates. This session will feature a thoughtful discussion, led by our host, on what it means to be a ‘self-advocate’, how to be assertive when needed, how to ask for support and accommodation and how to be an ally for others.

Don't miss this opportunity to find your voice and network with other self-advocates! Plus, if you attend, you will receive a custom Peer Empowerment badge!

Note: This virtual event is in collaboration with Partners Health Plan. You do not need to be a Care Design NY member to attend - all self-advocates are welcome.

Host: Veronica Crawford, Peer Advocate
