Introduce your social advocacy group. This is an advocacy group of your own creation.
In other words, if you were to establish an advocacy group dedicated to the work of
your issue, what does that advocacy group look like and what are its ultimate goals
(e.g., public awareness, political action,social action, changing laws)?
Explain the work the group does related to the topic area.
Explain how the social issue aligns with the group’s ultimate goals.
The name of my social advocacy group is Mental Health Is Not A Prison
Sentence Alliance.
The purpose of my group is to show that not all people with mental illness belong in prison.
A goal is to show society that mental illness is not to be feared and that not all people with mental illness are criminals. Another goal is to promote awareness that inmates with mental illness need to be treated for their illness to help them with their
symptoms.
It also needs to be shown that inmates with mental illness will not be as receptive to the rules like the rest of the general population without proper treatment.
