Advocacy Bootcamp

Managing heart failure or any chronic illness requires more than just following a treatment plan—it requires self-advocacy. The Self-Advocacy Bootcamp is designed to help patients build the skills, confidence, and knowledge needed to speak up for their needs, make informed healthcare decisions, and take control of their health journey.

This eight-module course covers essential self-advocacy skills, including setting personal goals, coordinating care, communicating effectively with healthcare providers, and navigating treatment options. You’ll learn how to take an active role in your care, ensure your voice is heard in medical settings, and find the right resources and support networks to help you along the way.

The course also focuses on mental and emotional resilience, helping you manage the emotional toll of chronic illness, develop coping strategies, and stay motivated through challenges. Finally, you’ll discover the power of sharing your story—how telling your personal journey can inspire others, create awareness, and drive change.
