Speaking Up for Yourself and Other Youth

Useful to Parent Centers in working with youth with disabilities and for sharing with youth and their families.

Speaking Up for Yourself and Other Youth is a resource page of the American Academy of Child Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), part of its Youth Resources collection. The page briefly defines what advocacy is in youth-friendly language, and identifies several other AACAP resources that youth might consult, including Taking Charge of Your Treatment. The resource page also connects youth with several state and national youth organizations.
