PR-Advocacy empowers helping and mental health professionals by normalizing self-care through empirical research, support, and proactive coping resources. Social resources are presented as advocacy, while psychological resources are designed for resilience building. Resources provided are constructed respectfully and compassionately to prevent or reduce work stressors.
Work stressors over time may cause compassion fatigue, burnout, staff burnout, distress, work deviance, early retirements, dysfunctional coping, and secondary traumatic stress. PR- Advocacy addresses the needs of professionals to increase resilience and format a self-chosen community to bolster support.
Helping and mental health professionals often support and advocate for their clients, but it is reasonable to wonder who advocates for them.
It is generally known that mental health professionals spend most of their time caring for others, fostering a nurturing environment for clients. Welcoming additional helping professionals in mental health settings is central to embracing traditional and non-traditional specialists, incorporating individuals who may work in various settings often neglected in support.
Helping and mental health professionals include psychologists, counselors, ministers, nurses, medical professionals, social workers, therapists, educators, behavioral specialists, and life coaches. Any mental health professionals in formal or non-formal settings attached to the following vocations listed above apply to the psychological and social resources provided.
Psychological resources may be used for personal and professional development and shared with colleagues and clients for guidance and coaching. However, they must be securely shared from the PR- Advocacy website. It's not allowed to share or post these resources for commercial use as original work, post them on social media, or share them with professionals, friends, or colleagues without referencing PR-Advocacy.com and corresponding references.
