YWCA Speaks Out Through Events

Lift Every Voice: Advocating for Self in Healthcare Spaces

Join YWCA Central Carolinas in partnership with the Women’s Empowerment and Birth Equity Institute (WEBE) on November 4th at 6 PM for Lift Every Voice, an interactive workshop focused on self-advocacy in healthcare spaces.

Part of WEBE’s Building Boldness for Better Health series, this session will explore practical tools and strategies for advocating for yourself and your health. Participants will hear perspectives from healthcare providers, engage in conversation around navigating healthcare spaces and have the opportunity to create their own healthcare advocacy toolkit to take with them beyond the workshop.

YWCA's Racial Justice and Advocacy Events

YWCA Central Carolinas is centering our Racial Justice and Advocacy programming on a critical and deeply connected focus area: Health and Well-Being.

This work builds on the issues we’ve explored and addressed for years. From Black maternal health to the criminalization of Black and Brown girls within the education system, both physical and mental health are woven throughout the social justice challenges facing our communities.

Together, we are deepening our understanding of these issues and strengthening our advocacy for policies that improve health outcomes for communities that have been historically marginalized.

For any questions, please contact our Community Engagement Manager Jamila Green at jgreen@ywcacentralcarolinas.org
