Record 1 2015-10-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Social Services and Social Work
DEF

The practice of having mentally handicapped people speak for themselves and control their own affairs, rather than having nonhandicapped people automatically assume responsibility for them.

CONT

By speaking for yourself you help other people-group home staff, government officials, and the general public-see that you are a person just like them, not a "disability". Self-advocacy is part of living in the community. Without it we might as well be shoved back into the institution.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Services sociaux et travail social
CONT

L'autonomie sociale consiste à défendre soi-même ses droits en vue d'atteindre un but ou un résultat précis pour soi. L'autonomie sociale consiste à s'exprimer et à négocier en sa propre faveur, à prendre seul des décisions éclairées et à savoir comment l'on aimerait qu'un problème soit résolu. L'autonomie sociale fait également référence à l'autonomisation, au rétablissement et à la défense des droits.

New Directions was originally established as the Children's Home of Winnipeg in 1885 and is the oldest child-caring institution of its kind in Western Canada. At New Directions, we have a vision of community. Our vision is of a place where all people have well-being, are honoured and can dream. And our mission is to offer services that can help make that vision a reality. Because a healthy community will help define the health of those who live there.
