Advocacy
Family Life participates actively in advocacy at a local, state and national level to further the health and wellbeing of our clients and community. The advocacy role is integral to our responsibility to clients and the community, to feed what we learn from those who consult us back to policy makers. The experiences shared with us by families, children and youth, are regarded as a primary source for understanding the impact of socioeconomic conditions and public policy.
Advocacy includes:
• participation in conferences and forums
• seeking funding from government and non-government sources
• direct communication with responsible authorities on behalf of clients
• raising the public's awareness of various social issues through community education and media campaigns.
