Individual Advocacy
What is Individual Advocacy?
It is the process of assisting another person to achieve a desired outcome. In our case it means we assist someone to get a benefit, service, or policy change out of a state agency, local agency, or service provider. It can involve making calls on your behalf, writing letters, filing complaints, filing appeals, doing press-releases, inviting groups of people to meetings, and more. Click here to learn more.
