Empowering voices, embracing abilities

Speak Up Self-Advocacy Awareness Society

Who We Are

The Speak Up Self-Advocacy Awareness (SUSA) Society started in 2021. Before that, we were the Speaking Up Self-Advocacy Awareness Group. We help people learn about their rights and how to stand up for themselves. Our society is made up of people with different abilities, and we believe everyone has something special to share.

What We Do

  • Advocacy Awareness

    We give rights presentations and offer workshops to educate and empower.

  • Social Events

    We host engaging social events that create opportunities for connection and celebrate diversity.

  • Workshops

    We run workshops to help people expand their knowledge and learn skills for self-advocacy.

Our Community

Our society is made up of people with diverse abilities, each contributing their unique perspectives and talents. We believe in the power of community and the importance of every individual's voice.

We want to build a community where everyone feels included, accepted, safe, and connected. Help us support and include people with diverseabilities. Learn more, get involved, or support the SUSA Society.

There's a place for everyone here!
