Community Advocacy
Community advocacy is dedicated to eliminating the obstacles children and their families face in accessing health support. These services focus on both identifying these barriers and on implementing processes to remove them so that families may more easily receive the support they need to help their children navigate their challenges. Community advocates may both educate and connect families to appropriate resources and work on implementing systemic policy changes to provide further support. They also strive to equip families to more confidently advocate for themselves.
Services
There are many services community advocates may provide, depending upon the individual needs of children and families. Here are some of the most commonly leveraged services families can expect to receive from their advocates:
- Education regarding available resources
- Connection to relevant resources
- Community education regarding mental health challenges
- Guidance toward the right resources for their families
- And more
