The mental health crisis is ongoing and seems to escalate every year. Therapy can treat mental health symptoms, but oppressive systems cannot be treated with any evidence-based practice. We may feel powerless to help clients whose mental health is negatively impacted by these systems. Fortunately, our credentials give our voices power when we engage in advocacy and fight these systems.


Learn the basics of advocacy as a mental health professionals and why these actions are important, both for the clients we see individually and for the world as a whole.
