Applying Change, Leadership, and Advocacy Theories to Disadvantaged and Vulnerable Populations
Human services professionals advocate for the rights of all members of society, including the members of minorities, disadvantaged and vulnerable populations, and groups that might experience discriminatory practices. For example, in 1963, the Family Service Association of America called for a national policy to end racial and ethnic discrimination, eradicate the causes of poverty, and protect and strengthen American families (Alliance for Children and Families, 2012). This resulted in the Community Mental Health Act, which greatly expanded community outreach and services to reach traditionally underserved populations (Alliance for Children and Families, 2012).
