Advocating for support in your Faith Community

Steps Care: The Talk

We advocate for every other need in our life, why not advocate for our needs in our faith communities. Today on the podcast, episode #8 we talk about why we think it is important to advocate for support within our faith communities. Advocate sounds like such an intimidating word, but really it is just a form of communication. It's communicating our needs. We talk about self advocacy, parent/caregiver advocacy, and educational advocacy today. Overall I feel like the disability community really does an incredible job supporting one another. We can use this example within our faith communities as well. When we look at models of inclusion between various ministries throughout the faith community. The fact is that we all can support one another, but if we don' t ask for the support we need we will never know exactly how much we truly need one another. We have a new partner at Steps Care. We will talk about this more in a later episode. We will be partnering with ABLE Minis Tree. This is a nationally recognized special needs ministry within the UPCI. We have unofficially collaborated with them throughout the years and look forward to this partnership. We will have further details in a later episode. You may search for ABLE ministry on Facebook for support and community.
