Participants learn how to recognize trauma responses\, avoid re-traumatization\, and build confidence and autonomy. This talk bridges clinical best practices with the lived realities of patients navigating life with an ostomy\, highlighting how trauma-informed principles reduce distress\, strengthen trust\, and improve outcomes across the care journey. Learn More or sign-up!. \nIf you can’t make it live a recording will be available on the Ostomy Academy Webpage after the event.

SUMMARY:Advocate Training Webinar - Your Story is Your Power
DESCRIPTION:Join UOAA live on July 23rd at 12:00PM EST for a special advocacy training webinar. \nPersonal stories are one of the most powerful tools in advocacy. They put a human face on policy issues\, change perspectives\, and can influence lawmakers and policymakers in ways that facts and statistics alone cannot. This training will help you effectively share your experience when communicating with elected officials—whether in a virtual meeting\, an in-person visit\, or through a letter or email. \nDuring this session\, you’ll learn how to be a compelling advocate\, communicate with confidence\, and craft your personal story into a powerful two-minute “elevator speech” that leaves a lasting impression. \nWe want to prepare our advocates in advance of our next phase in the national campaign to protect access to ostomy and urological supplies.  \nOur speakers will include patient advocates Kelly Dwyer and Kimberly Holiday-Coleman.  \nRemember: Your voice matters.  \nThis webinar will be recorded for those unable to attend at that time.  \nSign Up Today:\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *		\n			or Message Email\n			\n		\n		Comment or MessageSubmit  \n  \n
