How to Get Started
Psychologists have natural networks and spheres of influence for advocacy, with great potential to develop core relationships with key professionals.
Advocacy is not about competing with other professions. It is about focusing on the unique value, or niche “sells”, of psychology – we add value. We can, and do, make Alberta a psychologically healthy place to live.
To get started you only need an idea, a concern, or an issue that you feel passionate about. If you are willing to lend your voice to that idea, you are ready to start.
Unleash Your Potential
The time is always “now” for advocacy. Engaging grassroots lobbying initiatives are essential to success.
Stay focused on the purpose and keep your messages short and to the point. Your active participation is crucial.
