Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. -Theodore Roosevelt
Close your eyes and picture the community that you live in. Try not to focus on just the area where your house or favorite store might be, but also the neighborhoods that surround it. How does each region in your community differ, and how might those differences correspond to the needs of those living in that area?
When thinking of their communities, many people tend to focus solely on their lives, imagining the restaurants they go to, the schools they attend, and the shops they patronize. Communities encompass more than the experience of one individual, though. Many of today's communities face challenges such as gang presence, poverty, domestic or school violence, lack of care for the elderly, and substance abuse. Through advocacy, case managers can help their clients to develop the skills necessary to thrive in spite of such challenges.
This week, you examine roles of advocacy in case management. You explore ethical and legal concerns and identify ways to address challenges in case management.
