SWK 506 - Advocacy for Mental Health (3)This foundation course furnishes students with the orienting knowledge and skills needed to advocate for, and raise awareness about, mental health policies and to understand their relevance to social work practice. Students will become familiar with basic issues, concepts, values, terminology, frameworks, and ethical issues that define mental health advocacy. It exposes students to knowledge about political, legislative, and legal advocacy, as well as builds skills in working with news media around interviews, press releases, and fundraising. It alerts them to mental health policy’s contribution to both oppression and social justice and informs them of how social workers can work to support but also to change the mental health system.
