WRAP-UP

There are three types of advocacy:

1. individual advocacy - action taken to assist a person in finding appropriate services

2. program advocacy - action taken on behalf of a group to change an agency's services

3. social action advocacy - action taken to change systems, policies, or the law.From: Vancouver Status of Women, Single Mothers Resource Guide, 2011/2012
