Mental & behavioral health professionals in practice often find it hard to be active policy advocates, because we are uncomfortable, and/or lack the skills and experience to engage. This workshop highlights the importance of engaging in social and political action. Knowledge vital to interacting with various levels and systems of government will be provided. Communications with elected and non-elected officials will be explored. Coalition building will be highlighted. We will brainstorm advocacy areas ripe for professional involvement of mental and behavioral health professionals, make a plan for social and political action, get the work started, and prepare for future action.
Following this course, participants will be able to:
Explain ethical principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, and justice.
Understand how ethical codes call on mental and behavioral health professionals to be active policy advocates at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels.
Identify policy advocacy topics that further a professional or personal interest.
Demonstrate policy advocacy skills at the micro, mezzo and macro levels.
Perform policy advocacy at the micro, mezzo and macro levels.
