- I agree with the additional thoughts of both Melisa and Alexandra. I think it is because I am a 'lone entity' being a lived experience advocate so I don't have the protective framework of being embedded into an agency. I work in partnership with so many agencies, programs and policy/planning. How I network is by asking organization and peoples I know to post on their websites, facebook and tweet for me etc...
- For my free e-book lived experience journeys...an e-book site created a webpage for me so people could read about my advocacy, have fuller description of the e-journeys and the ability to download for free.(the only problem is that people have to sign up for this e-publisher site in order to download my e-books and that is less than ideal)
- Maybe eventually, I will work on seeing if someone would create a page for me off of their website.
- Ideally I would like my own website but because I am a full time volunteer advocate, I do not have the money to purchase a website designer and upkeep person.
Great discussion
