This course introduces students to various models of advocacy, both systemic and individual. Students will be equipped with skills to identify existing laws (State, Federal, and International) that remedy human right breaches, as well as identify gaps in anti-discrimination coverage. In order to be effective practitioners, students will evaluate different forms of argumentation and rhetoric, and develop the art of writing persuasive briefs. The later section of this course focuses on reviewing systems of peer support especially for youth services and mental health programs.
