BC People First Workshops & Presentations
BCPF is proud to offer many different workshops and presentations, all given by self-advocates from across the province in their communities
Presentations that are offered:
INTRODUCTION TO BC PEOPLE FIRST: This approximately 30 minute presentation outlines a brief history of the People First movement, what we do and how to get involved. It is an ideal presentation for groups of self-advocates and support staff.
THE RIGHTS GAME: This workshop is a fun interactive game that really gets you thinking about what our rights really are! This workshop is excellent for staff and self-advocate learning, and has been very popular at conferences across the province. It can be done in 1 hour or 2 hour sessions.
NAVIGATING THE MEDICAL SYSTEM: In this 45 minute presentation, self-advocates will learn about some of the things they can expect to encounter when navigating the medical system, as well as strategies to make the experience less stressful and more empowering.
WHAT INCLUSIVE HOUSING MEANS TO US: This workshop is designed to educate people who work in city planning, housing developers, non-profit housing co-operatives, but is also important information for self-advocates and staff learning. In this 1 hour presentation, there are personal stories, the important history of BCPF'S advocacy to end institutionalized living for persons with developmental disabilities, and a message that "home" means the same to everyone...regardless of the labels they are given. This can be done in 1 hour or 2 hour sessions.
AN INTRODUCTION TO BC PEOPLE FIRST: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: This 60 minute presentation offers BOTH an education on the BCPF movement, as well as a brief focus on very important human rights. It educates all people on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities with a focus on 3 key rights, Respect for the Home, Work, and Accessibility. *note, this workshop can be tailored to suit specific rights education*
MEMBERS INSPIRATIONAL JOURNEY PRESENTATIONS: Our BCPF Membership is made up of some very hardworking and inspirational people. Some of them are passionate public speakers and have presentations on topics such as inclusive employment and their journey to leadership as a self-advocate. Get in touch with us to book informative or motivational public speakers for a wide range of audiences. People of all ages, backgrounds, and working in different industries can greatly benefit from hearing our stories and our movement.
