DFI will be offering a six-week workshop series on Community Based Self-Advocacy & Mental Wellbeing for disabled people in Cork. The workshop will be offered online and will be delivered by myself. My name is Áine O’Sullivan and I work with DFI as a Community Development Officer.
Workshop Content
The workshop content will cover some key areas including:
- Mental Health
- Wellbeing
- Social Justice and Human Rights
- Models of Advocacy
- Effective Communication Skills in Self-Advocacy
- Sourcing Information and Rights Based Practice
The workshop series is suitable for anyone who is interested in improving their ability to speak up for themselves and have their voice heard. It is also useful for people who would like to learn more about themselves, meet new people and improve their confidence. Participants will get an understanding of self-care, and the 5 Ways to Wellbeing.
Workshop details
- Date: Every Thursday from 23 February – 30 March 2023.
- Time: 12.00pm – 2.00pm
- Venue: Online via Zoom

There is no charge for self-advocates to complete the workshop series. Self-advocates will get the most out of the series if they are able to attend for all six sessions.
We would be grateful if you could share this invitation with your self-advocate network in the Cork area and invite people to apply by the closing date of Wednesday 15 February 2023. All applications should be sent by email to aineosullivan@disability-federation.ie.
