Mission Statement

The Kamloops Self-Advocate is a newsletter for and about differently abled

people. Our mission is to present positive stories that highlight people’s

successes while entertaining and educating our readership. We also aim to

create opportunities for individuals to voice their opinions and concerns. We

hope to improve people’s lives and help to erase the stigma around diverse

abilities and mental health issues.

Goals

Our goal for the future is to have an advisory group that can guide this process

and help to make it even more successful. Our other goal is to have contests

around disabilities like autism for special awareness days or months.

We need to expand this beyond service providers/agencies and get it out into the

community more, so we can help educate the next generation and the whole

community.

Values

We believe in inclusion and equality and less segregation from society.
