Abstract:
SUMMARYObjective — Advocacy in the mental health services field is gaining importance since the traditional role of mental health hospitals is changing, particularly in North America and in Western Europe. This review will define advocacy, its goals and fundamental principles. It will then delineate the skills and strategies needed for any intervention on behalf of a patient or a group of patients. It will also deal with the issues and approaches most frequently raised and used, and finally, with the limits of advocacy. Method — The method used for this review was mainly a recension of the literature concerning advocacy throughout North America and Europe, having in view to see emerging the principal stakes and concerns related to this process. Results — Advocacy has a significant impact patients' awareness of their rights and their capacity to exercise them. It also prevents potential abuse of patients. On the other hand, some patients have an increased opportunity to cease treatment, and this could lead to serious medical consequences. There is also the possibility of retaliation from staff, as a result of being involved with an advocate. The combination of high quality care and effective advocacy is the best guarantee that a mental health patient will get the care he wants and needs with human dignity.

As a psychologist during the current political climate, I felt a sense of responsibility to learn more about social justice issues, and to support my clients in their efforts to try to remain optimistic. My colleague and I launched our podcast in the fall of 2018, and we have been interviewing people who work or volunteer for good causes and putting out episodes joyfully each week since then. As a result, we have learned about many dedicated, caring people and the concerns to which they have dedicated themselves.

Abstract:
Counseling programs across the country are increasingly incorporating social justice advocacy training into their curricula. However, much remains to be learned about the developmental processes by which students develop advocacy skills and apply those skills after they graduate. To address these questions and drive further innovation in the field of advocacy training, we conducted an evaluation of the Community Advocacy Project, a yearlong microlevel advocacy training model that teaches mental health counseling master’s students to use relationship-centered advocacy with individuals in marginalized communities. We interviewed 19 counselors within 2.5 years of their graduation from the project about their experiences of the program and their current advocacy work. Using qualitative description, we developed a model describing processes of Internal Grappling, Building the Advocacy Relationship, and Integrating the Advocate Identity that highlights the importance of a yearlong one-on-one advocacy relationship, intensive reflection and supervision, and community collaboration.

Abstract:
Professionals, families, and individuals with disabilities must work together to advocate for policy and legislation that will improve the lives of those with disabilities. Rural areas have unique issues that make targeted advocacy efforts necessary. While families and parents have a personal interest in advocacy, professionals have ethical principles related to advocacy they must uphold as a member of their field. This article outlines steps to use when working with state and national legislators including (a) knowing the issues, (b) identifying allies, (c) working with others, and (d) sustaining advocacy efforts. Specific tips are provided for individuals making face-to-face visits with legislators to increase chances of positive outcomes.

Abstract:
Introduction and Purpose Sport for development (SFD) has emerged as an increasingly prominent field in Europe and beyond. Defined as the intentional use of sport to support social development, the SFD movement focuses on a broad range of goals such as social cohesion, peacebuilding, gender equality and more. To support these goals, organisations within SFD usually focus on bringing diverse individuals together and exploiting sport’s interactive nature to foster experiential learning (Moustakas, 2024). This approach has however often been criticized as it tends to focus too strongly on the individual level, and therefore fails to account for or challenge socio-political realities that influence participant outcomes. In turn this means that SFD programmes risk generating limited, unsustainable outcomes as they seek to achieve broad gauge outcomes through limited focus programmes (Coalter, 2010). To address this, a growing number of scholars have suggested that SFD organisations must become involved in policy advocacy (Sanders, 2016). Understood as support of a particular policy or class of policies, policy advocacy allows SFD organisations to advocate for issues of relevance to participants and communities. Through this, programmes can influence the broader socio-political environment, or at least foster alignment between programme goals and this environment, which in turn can help support the sustainable, long-term impact of their programmes. Against this background, this study seeks to map out current practice, challenges and needs related to policy advocacy in the SFD sector. Method A survey was developed the consortium associated with the Erasmus+ project Policy Advocacy for Sport and Society (PASS). The goal of this survey was to understand how SFD organisations engage in policy advocacy, how they view relationships with policymakers, and what kind of resources they would like to support future policy advocacy activities. The survey was collaboratively designed by the consortium, and questions mapping policy advocacy activities were based on the conceptual framework from Gen and Wright (2013). The survey was distributed via a purposive sampling approach, whereby SFD organisations associated with professional networks in the field were targeted via e-mail and social media. Afterwards, given the primarily mapping function of the survey, results were descriptively analysed and graphically portrayed. Results Preliminary analysis shows that most SFD organisations engage with policymakers, especially at the municipal level (ca. 65%) or within national sport organisations (ca. 60%). Awareness raising activities or campaigns are the most common advocacy activities (ca. 70%), along with networking with policymakers (ca. 40%). However, relationships remain strained, with around 10-35% of organisations reporting difficult relationships with different policy stakeholders. Lack of resources (ca. 70%) and expertise (ca. 55%) are seen as the main obstacles to further advocacy, and organisations report that they would benefit from examples, templates, strategies, and learning offers. Discussion and Conclusion These results show reasonably widespread policy advocacy activities in the field, but activities remain limited to various forms of awareness raising or campaigning. Likewise, relationships with decision-makers often remain strained. This suggests that further work could unearth the complexities of these relationships, while applied projects could support by developing tools and learning materials. References Coalter, F. (2010).

Abstract:
This study explored an advocacy of Muslim majority on Hindu Minority in Sidoarjo. The Muslim majority group maintained and protected the Hindu minority group in Krembung community. The Hindu group has very little adherents but they could grow to have a house of worship with a large land area in the East Java region. Most followers came from outside the area. This phenomenon looked unique since the Hindu people living in the temple area are very few and even dominated by immigrants from Bali. There was only one original family and the local indigenous population. The rest were immigrants and followers who came from outside the area. This study attempted to explain the forms of advocacy occurring in the area and factors encouraged the majority to advocate the minority. The analysis method uses advocacy and pro-social theory approaches. To enrich data collection, this study uses field studies which are also accompanied by interviews, observations and documentation. The study revealed that there were some forms of advocacy carried out by Muslim majority on Hindu minority in the form of mutual protection in various fields, including economic, social and the existence of each group. The birth of awareness to build advocacy through various activities was described.

Abstract:
This article discusses the creation of a new philosophical model of librarian-patron interaction. Directly influenced by the classical Indian text The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali, the authors have created the Triadic Model of Holistic Advocacy, which is supported by three yogic concepts: yoga (union), karuṇā (compassion), and āsana (pose). At its core, holistic advocacy encompasses both a philosophy and praxis of librarianship that is predicated on the belief that librarianship is fundamentally about service to others. Holistic advocacy requires a consistent, empathetic approach to librarian-patron interactions that is ultimately reflected in the quality of services rendered. The authors argue that engaging in holistic advocacy empowers library professionals to better advocate for patrons, specific libraries, and librarianship as a field. Embedding this ethos will help ensure that advocacy happens frequently and organically. Furthermore, holistic advocacy is a mindset that will help foster the growth of a more critically-thinking, compassionate society. The blending of eastern philosophical concepts (as outlined in the The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali) and western practices of LIS has not yet been discussed in the literature. The authors hope this discussion will encourage others to consider how eastern philosophy impacts western library practices.

Abstract:
The study emphasizes the necessity of investigating the special education advocate process, especially in light of academic and growth results for children. It adds that many parents need advocates to get special education services for their disabled kids, but this field is yet mostly untapped. By interviewing parent-advocate pairs, the research's goal is to examine the special education advocacy procedure. The study used qualitative methods of study, specifically interviewing nine “parent-advocate “pairs. These pairs were chosen to offer a variety of points of view and knowledge about the advocacy for SE. In-depth information about the advocating process, the reactions of schools, and the perceived impact on child and family success were to be gathered through the interviews. The data from the interviews were analysed using thematic analysis to find common trends and themes. The study's conclusions showed that family and “advocates” shared a common understanding of the SE advocating system. Participants stated the participation of an “advocate” was generally welcomed by schools. It was also observed that some schools acted combatively and showed astonishment at the appearance of an “advocate”. Parents and “advocates” agreed that advocacy had a beneficial impact on children and families' results, despite differing opinions from schools. The summary did not precisely state how advocacy specifically affected these results. The study emphasizes the significance of the SE advocating method and its alleged favourable effects on success for children and families. The results show that although there have been instances of hostile responses, schools frequently react favourably to “advocates”. However, both “advocates” and children thought that advocacy had positive results. These findings highlight the need for additional study and the consequences for policy and practice. The consequences are probably expanded upon in the following section, but the overview does not include the specifics.

Abstract:
Primary Health Care (PHC) is the backbone of health systems and a cornerstone of Universal Health Coverage. In 2018, political commitment to PHC, including a comprehensive approach based on essential care throughout the lifespan, integrated public health functions, and community empowerment was reaffirmed by international stakeholders in Astana. As recent events exposed weaknesses of health care systems worldwide, growing attention has been paid to strengthening PHC. While the role of care providers as health advocates has been recognized, they may lack skills, opportunities, and resources to actively engage in advocacy. Particularly for PHC providers, guidance and tools on how to advocate to strengthen PHC are scarce. In this article, we review priority policy areas for PHC strengthening with relevance for several settings and health care systems and propose approaches to empower PHC providers—physician, non-physician, or informal PHC providers—to advocate for strengthening PHC in their countries by individual or collective action. We provide initial ideas for a stepwise advocacy strategy and recommendations for practical advocacy activities. Our aim is to initiate further discussion on how to strengthen health care provider driven advocacy for PHC and to encourage advocates in the field to reflect on their opportunities for local, national, and global action.

Abstract:
Each student receiving special education services in the public school system, roughly 6.4 million students, has an Individualized Education Program (IEP) that is mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA). IDEA dictates that a team of people familiar with the student, including the parents, should create the IEP. Unfortunately, research indicates that many parents believe their participation is not welcome. While only a small percentage of parents may actually be dissatisfied with the IEP process, the cost of dissatisfaction is high, further stretching already limited resources that could be better used in the classroom. The purpose of this study was to investigate parents’ and school personnel’s beliefs about and experiences with collaborative activities that took place prior to the annual IEP or 504 plan meeting. Participant perceptions and suggestions about improving the special education process were also explored. In-depth interviews were conducted with an assistant principal, a self-contained ESE teacher, a resource ESE teacher, a regular education inclusion teacher, and three parents whose children were receiving special education services. All participants were involved in the special education process at the elementary school level. The study’s findings indicated that while school personnel perceive that they are providing opportunities for parents to be involved in a collaborative manner, parents do not perceive that a fully open and transparent collaboration exists. The school made an effort to generate a comfortable environment inviting collaboration during formal meetings; however, parents expressed frustration with the more informal aspects of the special education process including initiation of services. Teachers and parents identified similar concerns and frustrations with the IEP process and suggested similar ideas for improvement. Both school personnel and parents identified scarcity of resources within the school, which seemed to create a barrier to open communication and collaboration. Suggestions for improvement included access to outside support and advocacy groups to increase parent understanding of the special education process and facilitate its process. It is concluded that, ultimately, policy makers should become more involved at the classroom level in order to understand the implications of policy change.

Les initiatives féministes s’organisent pour générer des transformations sociales, maillant différents espaces de cause féministes. Ces initiatives s’apparentent à des processus de commoning multi-acteurs. Nous proposons de développer une approche symbiotique pour analyser ces phénomènes, inspirée de la symbiose industrielle et de l'économie symbiotique. L'étude repose sur quatre cas d'initiatives féministes, analysés qualitativement de manière cumulative pour développer une modélisation de la symbiose féministe. Cette modélisation constitue une théorisation de la symbiose féministe, s’appuyant sur des composants, des mécanismes et des propriétés. Cela permet de définir la symbiose féministe comme une modalité de commoning inter-organisationnel fondée sur une diversité d’acteurs entretenant des relations mutuellement avantageuses au profit d’un commun féministe sur lequel ils s’accordent et qui présente des bénéficiaires (in)direct•e•s

We propose to develop a symbiotic approach to analyze these phenomena, inspired by industrial symbiosis and symbiotic economics. The study is based on four cases of feminist initiatives and is analyzed qualitatively in a cumulative manner to develop a modeling of feminist symbiosis. This modeling constitutes a theorization of feminist symbiosis, relying on components, mechanisms, and properties.

The rapid development of the world's pulse, the unpredictability of science and technology, and the transformation of the medical system , which make the nursing education and form ofcommunication are different. “To do a good job, an artisan needs the best tools.” The introduction of emerging technologies brings a flexible learning situation to nursing education. Appropriately apply the technology media to the health education make nursing students use innovative learning methods and interactive modes for publicizing and improve the overall practice effectiveness. Therefore, this study used the propagation characteristics of e-books and the point of view of health communication to explore the effectiveness and process of implementing the health education combined with multimedia e-book during nursing students practice , and further analyze implementing multimedia e-book to large groups, small groups, and individual cases from three faces: (1) self-efficacy of health communication (2) self-learning effectiveness of nursing information, and(3) performance of the nursing practice. The participants in this study are selected from third-grade national university students in Taiwan. The total number is 32. The period of experiment is three weeks. The quantitative and qualitative analysis are used in this research. According to the results of the data, media e-books can effectively support the health education to promote self-efficacy of health communication, improve the self-learning effectiveness of nursing information, and enhance the performance of the nursing practice.

Abstract:
The concept of advocacy literally means to speak for someone. Rooted in law, the term has been increasingly used in medical and patient-related contexts in the past years. This book focuses on advocacy activities in the field of neurology. Neurology deals with heterogeneous and diverse populations of patients, who suffer from disability, chronic, and often progressive diseases. The complex characteristics of neurological diseases yield exceptional challenges to plan for and implement advocacy activities on all levels. All stakeholders are challenged to provide the support patients need; advocacy facilitates this process and bundles efforts to reach the objective of the advocacy task. Building on the premise that advocacy goes beyond merely theoretical claims, this book collects and organizes advocacy approaches in practice. Thereby, we draw on different dimensions of ‘advocacy in neurological practice’ and discuss implications for management, healthcare, planning, and policymaking. We place special emphasis on what advocacy means for several different diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), brain tumours, MS, epilepsy among others. Contributions include best practices, lessons learnt, and tools to be used. The main goal of this book is to raise awareness for advocacy in neurology and empower readers to plan for and implement appropriate activities. In advocacy, anyone can be both an advocate and an advocatee. This book offers a seminal contribution for anyone who is pursuing or intending to pursue advocacy in neurology and related fields.

Abstract:
AbstractPractical guidance on advocacy in the context of development commonly relates to the contexts in which it is set. However, context is relevant beyond the aspects usually addressed, most importantly the presence of a liberal state that has authority and competence to make and enforce policy decisions. To lay bare and reflect on these assumptions for advocacy research and practice, the chapter turns to advocacy manuals for practitioners in the development field. To illustrate and substantiate the problematic nature of the assumptions underlying practitioner guidance, the chapter provides insights from research into civil society advocacy in settings where the condition of the liberal state is not met: authoritarian/hybrid and fragile contexts. A discussion of findings from this research, and a reflection considering them, lead to the identification of a set of considerations for advocacy research and practice in the development sector regarding contextuality: CSO roles, advocacy capacities, strategies, and risk management.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter is part of ‘Midwifery and Sexuality’ a Springer Nature open access book for midwives and related healthcare professionals. The book aimed to create more ‘sexuality-sensitive midwifery care’. This last chapter of this book ventures to take midwifery to the next level.In a broad sense, sexuality-positive midwifery can create space for expanding the domains of women’s health. Then why not dream of a change for the better? This chapter will emphasise various personal motives to look for change. It will delineate some aspects of Swedish midwifery. Sweden is an example of well-developed midwifery care, with a progressive and sexuality-positive approach.The chapter will then cover various perspectives of sexuality education. Starting within the common daily midwifery practice and focusing on the role of teacher/educator for various groups with unmet sexual health needs. Midwives are the right professionals for proactive participating in society with advocacy and promoting sexual health and rights.The chapter ends with an invitation to development-combining social needs and individual dreams can create new job opportunities towards midwifery specialisation in the aspect of sexuality.

Abstract:
AbstractThe field of environmental science and the movements within have traditionally excluded non-white and marginalized communities, resulting in underrepresentation and lowered engagement of these groups within and outside of academia. The systemic economic and cultural barriers in academia and our larger society inhibit racially ethnic and gender-diverse students from fully participating and authentically engaging in the sciences. Building meaningful connections to the field of environmental sciences and sustainability requires integrated approaches that extend “beyond the walls” to encourage, inspire, and motivate students to take an interest in studying and pursuing careers in ecology and the earth sciences. In a conversation centered around critical race theory and intersectionality, four scientists and educators discuss the challenges and rewards of helping students navigate science in academia. They also examine how their advocacy for diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice translates into actionable approaches that deconstruct the barriers that have prevented equal representation and empowerment of marginalized groups in the environmental sciences.

Abstract:
AbstractThrough the presentation and discussion of some data from the current legal–empirical research of our Collaborative Research Center (CRC) research project “Worlds of Labour”, it is shown that we are in the midst of a worldwide labour regulation development in transition from patriarchal to gender-egalitarian rules. Equal rights’ drivers in the gender field encompass actors representing states/international organisations (IOs) setting equalising rules and social actors raising voice for equal rights. To the latter belong, nationally and globally, workers and workers’ organisations and actors not directly involved as social partners, trying to intervene into employment affairs in order to trigger equality. Epistemic communities, transnational advocacy and norm-building networks, international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) and the like collaborate with norm-building states and IOs (“women caucuses”) propagating egalitarian rules. This multiplicity of example setters and emulators helped equality values gain momentum, worldwide.

Abstract:
The urgency of addressing climate change challenges architectural educators to employ methods for cultivating stewardship and advocacy in emerging designers by integrating a broad array of performance domains into the curriculum. This study contributes to the literature on teaching with case-based pedagogical methods by analyzing deliverables from an applied professional practice course studying Living Buildings, which are designed to meet the most stringent certifications and rating systems developed by the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Owner (AECO) community. Voices from the Field is a seminar and field-based course that employs cases pursuing high performance standards to demonstrate the interrelationship of technical, organiza¬tional, behavioral, and operational domains in the process of taking buildings from concept to realization. The study analyzes four sets of course deliverables produced by students who studied two Living Building Challenge (LBC) projects. The deliverables, called Field Reports, comprise student accounts of the project issues that arise from their review of project documentation, their construction site visits, and their interviews of project team members. Using a grounded approach, the Field Reports were coded for evidence that students increased their understanding of the strategies, attitudes, and behaviors necessary to achieve advanced building performance targets. Importantly, the analysis also demonstrated that students gained greater understanding of the advocacy necessary to apply their sustainable ideals to real world contexts. The research considers how to empower emerging practitioners to disrupt established design, construction, and regulatory systems in order to build a more sustainable and equitable society.

Abstract:
The paper is dedicated to the analysis of the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in improving road safety in the Republic of Serbia, with a specific focus on the local context, namely their role in the units of local self-government. Considering different approaches, challenges, and contributions of NGOs in the field of road safety, the paper thoroughly explores strategies these organizations employ to reduce traffic collisions, their consequences, and to raise awareness among participants about responsible behavior in traffic. The paper emphasizes the importance of specific challenges faced by NGOs, highlighting their limited resources as a key factor. It also underscores the need for effective collaboration with state authorities while emphasizing the crucial role of autonomy for NGOs in achieving goals in the field of road safety. Analyzing specific contributions of NGOs, the paper focuses on their role in public education about road safety, promotion of traffic culture, advocacy for improvements in traffic policies, and providing support to victims of traffic collisions. It particularly emphasizes that these activities not only contribute to the current improvement of road safety but also lay the foundation for long-term and sustainable enhancement of road safety. By recognizing the importance of NGO autonomy, the paper provides insight into key elements influencing the effectiveness of their activities in the field of road safety.

Abstract:
Abstract With a growing number of outdoor enthusiasts becoming increasingly dependent on electronic devices such as GPS units, cellular telephones, and palm-sized computers, the need exists for a lightweight, field-maintainable electronic power source. Since batteries are neither lightweight nor environmentally friendly, the outdoor enthusiast’s proclaimed advocacy of “environmental awareness” furthers this necessity. As a result, there is a strong desire on the part of the outdoor community to have alternative methods for generating portable power. This paper describes the development of a device capable of producing up to 10 watts of electric power by converting thermal energy into electric energy. This is achieved by placing a bismuth-telluride thermoelectric module between a highly efficient heat exchanger and an integrated cold-water reservoir. In addition to thermal efficiency and eliminating the user’s dependency on batteries: size, weight, and system volume were also critical design specifications. Design efforts have resulted in a pocket-sized, multi-use device, which can be used as a power generator, water heater, or distillation unit. The unit has also been designed to work with equipment already possessed by most outdoor enthusiasts. This paper discusses the design challenges and novel solutions encountered during the successful development of the unit.

Abstract:
he field of genetic services within the legal system of the Republic of Serbia was initially regulated in 2015 with the enactment of the Law on Prevention and Diagnosis of Genetic Diseases, Genetically Conditioned Anomalies, and Rare Diseases. This law, commonly known as “Zoja’s Law”, was prompted by the advocacy of parents whose daughter suffered from a rare disease and was denied access to healthcare due to the inability to obtain a diagnosis in Serbia. As a result, the law was introduced to the public with significant attention and is recognized as one of the most modern legal frameworks in Europe concerning the establishment of rights, duties, and responsibilities for participants in medical procedures related to the prevention and diagnosis of genetics diseases, genetically conditioned anomalies, and rare diseases.This law covers several broader areas in the context of genetic testing aimed at establishing a diagnosis, including predictive, prenatal, and postnatal diagnostics. This paper focuses on the analysis of prenatal diagnosis - the genetic testing of embryos or fetuses. In addition to examining the provisions of domestic legislation, special attention will be given to analyzing the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) practice regarding member states’ provision of access to these services for individuals. This analysis entails assessing the compatibility of Serbia’s legal framework with European human rights standards, particularly concerning the right to health and reproductive rights. Key issues explored include access to information, consent, privacy, and the balancing of individual rights with societal interests.

Abstract:
Natural gas leakage from unmanned facilities, such as compressor stations, gathering sites, and block valve locations, can pose significant economic and safety impacts. Additionally, methane, the primary constituent of natural gas, is a powerful greenhouse gas with 84 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide on a mass basis over a 20-year period (IPCC 2013). Due to the remote location of many of these facilities, fluid leaks can persist for extended periods of time. Continuous leak detection systems would facilitate rapid identification and repair of leaks. However, existing technologies, such as infrared cameras, are cost-prohibitive to be installed at a high number of sites and are instead used in periodic monitoring as part of leak detection and repair programs. Such periodic monitoring does not provide for quick detection of “fat tail” leaks that dominate the emissions from gathering and transportation systems (Mitchell et al. 2015, Subramanian et al. 2015). A unique and innovative arrangement of various stakeholders was utilized to initiate a technology development and testing program aimed at expedited deployment of low-cost technologies at high numbers of sites. The technologies targeted for this work were low enough in cost to economically justify the installation of such sensors at every gas gathering and transportation site. This work was driven by an environmental advocacy organization under a partnership with eight different oil and gas companies and technical oversight from various universities, non-profits, and government agencies to give a wide perspective on the needs of such technology. Four different technologies were developed and tested in realistic release environments. The technologies ranged from sensors modified from automobile-based technology to laser-based systems used for monitoring gases in coal mines. The systems were treated as “end-to-end” units whereby all components (e.g., sensor, data acquisition, enclosures, etc.) needed to perform according to the provided specifications. The testing involved controlled releases under numerous environmental conditions and with different gas compositions. The largest focus of the testing was on outdoor releases where the systems had to detect the transient nature of gas plumes. The primary objectives of the testing were to determine the readiness of the technologies for pilot testing in the field and identify continuous improvement opportunities. The project demonstrated that there are newly-developed technologies that could be deployed as low-cost continuous monitoring solutions for the gas industry.

Abstract:
Introduction to Case-making and Systems Change in Arts & Cultural Education is an overview of a collaborative project between Creative Generation and ElevateArtsEd undertaken to better understand how practitioners - such as artists, educators, community leaders, and more - can make the case for and also advocate through arts and culture to drive systemic change and address complex challenges. The project seeks to expand the knowledge base of case-making and systems change in the field of arts and cultural education and provide resources to support effective actions for practitioners and young creatives. Investigating both the theory and the practice of case-making, the introductory article draws on research from three distinct sectors: cultural, education, and social justice. The approach represents both the science of advocacy-- building blocks for understanding what effective advocacy looks like-- and the art of advocacy with calls for improvisation, adaptability, and generative thinking, all characteristics of art making. The article describes six key learning themes and an expanded model for advocacy focused on self, field, and sector through an overarching lens of social justice.

Full text
Abstract:
In this article, the authors propose that California’s Seal of Biliteracy for high school seniors can serve as an exemplar to advocate for the continued development of bilingual skills in university, graduate-level students—and counseling students in particular. Citing literature that points to the need for linguistic diversity among counselors in school and community agencies, the authors describe the efforts taken by the Counseling Program in the School of Education at Loyola Marymount University (LMU) in partnership with LMU’s Center for Equity for English Learners to address the need. Their pilot of a Certificate of Bilingual Counseling in Fieldwork (CBC-F) involved the development and testing of proficiency rubrics that adhered to current standards for teaching foreign languages and simultaneously measured professional competencies in counseling. Results of the CBC-F pilot with five female Latina students in the counseling program at LMU in the spring of 2017 appeared promising and were described in detail. These findings have implications for preparing and certifying professionals in other fields with linguistic and cultural competencies in response to current demographic shifts.
