Getting support often takes skills in self-advocacy. Be aware of your rights and what you are entitled to. Do not be afraid to ask for what you need to succeed and stay healthy. Take the necessary steps to follow through with the support plans and advice given to you. This might include attending regular counseling sessions, following a health plan, or participating in academic support programs.
