How can we empower individuals to take action and seek support for their own needs, rather than solely relying on others to provide assistance?

Individuals can be empowered to take action and seek support for their own needs by providing them with education and resources to build their skills and confidence. Encouraging self-advocacy and self-reliance through workshops, support groups, and counseling can also help individuals feel more empowered to take control of their own well-being. Additionally, creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment where individuals feel safe to voice their needs and concerns can further empower them to seek help and take action on their own behalf. Ultimately, fostering a culture of empowerment and autonomy can help individuals develop the resilience and independence needed to address their own needs effectively.
