9:00-10:30am Advocacy for Counselors-This presentation will provide best practices and strategies in advocacy for the counseling profession and for the well-being of individuals and groups.

profession to everyone they meet!
Learning Objectives:

2. Attendees will discuss the qualities of advocates.
3. Attendees will be provided with strategies for advocating at the local, state, and national levels.
