specialty. As you think through the role of being an advocate in your specialty area (clinical
mental health), what challenges or needs in your specialty area might
require your advocacy work at the local, state, and national level? For example, you might face
a challenge related to inadequate funding for services in your area, or administrators who are not
supportive of your efforts, or lack of access to appropriate services due to geography. List at least
one challenge you might face in your counseling work at all three levels: Local, State, and
National. For each challenge that you identified, describe specific ways you might advocate to
bring about positive change. Also, describe to whom you would direct your advocacy efforts at
each level. See attachment for further instructions.
