Problem: Advocacy Strategies for Working with people with mental health/ substance abuse challenges in a Clinical setting
Be sure to consult the Ratts (2011) and (2017), articles assigned in Week 5, when developing this section of your paper. In this section of the paper, state the specific advocacy needs of people with mental illness and/or substance abuse challenges. Then, identify specific advocacy strategies to further address the sociocultural factors you identified. Remember, advocacy is focused specifically on addressing barriers clients experience in the community due to some aspect of a marginalized identity. When developing specific advocacy strategies, think about how you might intervene on each level of influence discussed in Ratts (2017) (i.e., intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional, community, and public policy).
