Advocacy Role

A strong, self-empowering individual can very much be an advocate. He or she is an individual that has the courage to stand up, speak to be heard, and understood for someone that can't speak for them.

My paper will define advocacy and how human service professionals utilized the term. I will discuss how advocacy is used in the disability population, and issues within the population. I will further discuss a good recommendation that will hopefully help a individual with a disability. In conclusion based on all the information I gather, and my own personal experiences, I will come up with good sound decisions to assist those in other diverse population such as example; housing, treatment, short and long term Medicare, judicial, domestic violence, and education.
