Citizen advocacy: strategies for addressing human service needs in the community
Abstract:
This article deals with strategies that have been successfully used and/or developed by West Island Citizen Advocacy for addressing community human service needs and human service delivery quality. Being independent of other human service agencies, and not being a service provider, helps the effectiveness of these strategies. Discussed are case examples of these strategies, i.e. sitting on other boards, organizing community committees or coalitions around service issues, writing briefs on service needs or issues, team and group advocacy, and public education.
