Discuss the role of an advocate for a mental health issue. What potential ethical conflicts can arise when a mental health professional takes on the role of an advocate?

When you discuss the role(s) as you see them, refer to any specific standards that you may currently be using or considering. Feel free to add relevant examples, share relevant resources you have found (articles, videos, podcasts, infographics, quotes), share your relevant personal observations or experiences, and/or offer a short scenario as a realistic application of the concept.

When responding to your peers’ original postings, consider the role(s) as she/he sees them and the ethical standards they are considering.
