The introduction is an explanation of social justice advocacy, and the different ways counselors advocate for their clients. Next, I discussed how I see myself related to advocacy as I become a professional within my area of specialization and my belief about the similarities between advocacy and consultation.

Lastly, I described a hypothetical situation of a child, adolescent, adult, couple, or family, and addressed how a counselors' knowledge of consultation and advocacy could interact with the progression of their counseling experience based on my area of specialization.
