Systemic Advocacy
Please note: the 'Systemic Advocacy' section was recently upgraded to a separate item on the main menu. Click here to return to the 'Our Services' section.
Systemic advocacy focuses on issues that affect a broad segment of a particular population. These initiatives may, for example, comprise strategic efforts to change administrative structures and service delivery within the context of psychiatric institutions. This can include law and policy reforms that provide the basis for services provided in the mental health care system. The goal of systemic advocacy is to promote changes that support the legal rights social and therapeutic entitlements of clients; and to address power inequities inherent in institutional settings.
This section of the website highlights some examples of PPAO's systemic advocacy initiatives.
