Talk:Self-advocacy

Contextual meaning of self-advocacy
I was prompted to look up the meaning of self-advocacy from a self-improvement article in Wikihow. I was surprised to find the words had been hijacked by the professional mental health bunch. Self-advocacy means just that, and to reference it primarily as a tool for impaired, disabled or similarly mentally challenged people could be seen as insulting to them.

May I suggest the article broadly outlines the meaning of self-advocacy and the benefits it may bestow and as an adjunct, describes the special meaning it has to the professional psychology community

All of the criticism is about patient advocacy not self advocacy
The current state of the page is specifically talking about self advocacy for people with developmental disabilities, but the criticism is about patient advocacy and doesn't talk about people with DD at all Catchant (talk) 01:44, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
