Coming soon: More self-advocacy webinars

As providers of basic services see more people needing help, they'll need new ways of handling greater demand with tighter resources. RQI's strategy can provide a release valve for overwhelmed services by equipping people with effective skills for self-advocacy and taking action on their own behalf.

On April 29, join Luz Santana for virtual office hours. On May 6, she will present another introductory webinar, and additional office hours are coming in May.
