Advocacy Pitches: A Primer
Rationale: This assignment provides you the opportunity to practice your oral
advocacy skills by preparing a 5-minute pitch to a target audience of your
choosing.
Guidelines
I.
Be professional; state your background and affiliation. Elected
officials and advocacy groups are inundated with information and
requests. If you have the good fortune of meeting with an official/leader, or
a representative from their staff, thank him/her first and foremost for taking
the time to meet with you. Then, state your background (e.g., student,
health care professional, etc.) and affiliation (e.g., school, organization,
hospital, or perhaps just a concerned citizen). If you have expertise on an
issue owing to your background education and/or work experience, make
that explicitly clear. Your credibility is enhanced when you can lean on
your knowledge to explain why the status quo is inadequate. Even if you
are not an expert on the issue, your initiative and rationale for prioritizing
the matter may inspire an official to take action. For example, many times
health issues have become a priority only after concerned and informed
citizens have taken the time and effort to advocate. More often than not,
you will know as much, if not more, about a health issue as those to whom
you are speaking.
II.
Frame the public health issue to a specific course of action. Specify
why you are bringing the issue to their attention. Professor Bhattacharya
shares this example: While working for Congress, I recall an encounter
with an individual representing an HIV/AIDS advocacy group. He
presented a clear grasp of the issues affecting persons afflicted with
HIV/AIDS in the nation, but after 30 minutes he had failed to articulate

what he wanted the Congressman to do. After he wrapped up his
prepared remarks, my senior colleague politely responded, “Thank you
very much for taking the time to meet with us on all of these issues, but
I’m a little confused. What, exactly, do you want the Congressman to do
for you?” After a moment’s pause, the individual replied that he simply
wanted, on behalf of his organization, to keep the Congressman abreast
of the issues afflicting his constituents and reiterate their support for his
prior efforts in serving their community. This informative encounter was a
valid reason for convening with us, but by failing to make the intent of the
meeting clear from the outset, we never had a chance to follow up on any
of the issues that he raised because he simply ran out of time. It’s
imperative to make your intention clear from the outset so the official and
his/her staff can help to further your specific needs. A confused or
unmotivated official may not champion your cause, no matter how noble it
may be.
III.
Articulate multidisciplinary points. Plan each point before you deliver
your pitch, breaking them down into bullet points, if possible. Be sure to
cite scholarly resources and research to support your claims, and include
information related to multiple disciplines.
IV.
Include closing remarks. Conclude your pitch by reiterating why you
have brought this issue to their attention, as well as specific opportunities
this person or group has to advance or address the public health issue.
V.
Beat the clock. You have 5 minutes, which translates into a few
paragraphs of information.

Executive Summary
The ethos of psychological wellness has changed gigantically in the course of recent
decades. Emotional well-being is more open to the general population as, an ailment that
influences many individuals and does not make these individuals a clear danger to everyone
around them. As per Ray et al. (2008), social work has a critical part to play in sorting out
endeavors, to bolster people and gatherings who may regularly have pessimistic experiences and
impression of emotional well-being administrations. Social laborers need to keep up a more
extensive social perspective of emotional wellness issues, especially since to worries about
unfair practices, social equality and social equity these angles are incorporated into the PCF's;
'qualities and morals', "differing qualities" and 'rights, equity and financial prosperity' (Nordgren,
L. B., 2014). In agreement to the PCF 5 common laborers have the learning, preparing and
instruction that enables them to create comprehension and attention to issues, for example,
persecution, power and social rejection and it has made social specialists mindful of their
capacities for abuse towards others.

Mental and Public Health Issues
Emotional instabilities are disarranging of cerebrum capacity. They have many causes
and result from complex connections between a man's qualities and their condition. Having a
maladjustment is not a decision or right coming up short. Dysfunctional behaviors happen at
comparable rates far and wide, in each culture and all financial gatherings. The insights are
stunning, 1 in 5 youngsters experience the ill effects of emotional instability, that is 20 percent of
our populace however yet just around 4 percent of the aggregate therapeutic services spending
plan is spent on our psychological well-being. Around one out of five teenagers have a
diagnosable mental wellness issue, and almost 33% shows manifestations of despondency
(Nordgren, L. B., 2014). Cautioning signs aren't self-evident, yet more common side effects
incorporate steady touchiness, outrage, or social withdrawal, and also real changes in craving or
rest. Emotional well-being can disturb school execution, hurt connections, and prompt suicide
(the second driving reason for death among adolescents) (Nordgren, L. B., 2014).
Unfortunately, a progressing disgrace on psychological well-being scatters represses a
few youths and their families from looking for offer assistance. Compelling medicines for
psychological well-being clusters, particularly on the off chance that they start not long after side
effects show up, can help decrease its effect on a juvenile's life. Patel, et al. (2007) argues that
mental health is indeed a public health issue. In his article ‘mental health of young people: a
global public-health challenge,' Patel asserts that mental disorder account for a significant
fraction of the diseases burdens particularly in young people in all the communities. The mental
disorder often starts during the early stages of life (12-15 years), even though they are usually
spotted later in life. He cites that poor health mental health is substantially associated with other
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES
5
health and developmental disorders in young people, such as substance abuse, poor educational
achievements, poor sexual health, and violence among others (Nordgren, L. B., 2014).
Patel argues that the effectiveness of some intervention programs of most mental
disorders in the age above group have been identified. However, Patel proposes that further
research must be conducted so as to improve the available interventions. Mental health needs are
not met in most economies because of several challenges such as scarcity of mental-health
professionals as well as the stigma associated with this public health issue. In his book, Patel
proposes the need for youth-focused model that actually integrate mental health with other young
people health. Addressing mental health issue is essential to young people because it will enable
them to achieve their potential and positively contribute to the growth and development of their
societies.
Henderson, et al. (2013), argues that is indeed mental health is a public health issue. She
asserts that individuals with mental disorders tend to shun away from seeking interventions due
to the stigma associated with this subject. In her book, ‘Mental illness stigma, help to explore,
and public health programs,' Henderson claims that approximately 70% of individuals with the
mental disorder receive no medical intervention from health care professionals. Evidence shows
that elements increasing the possibility of treatment delay and avoidance include ignorance
regarding the accessibility of the intervention, insufficient knowledge to detect characteristics of
mental health, and prejudice and discrimination against individuals who have mental disorders.
She suggests that intervention programs must be designed in a way that curbs stigma.
The branch of wellbeing (2010) states, in September 2010, the coalition government
reported another technique, 'No wellbeing without emotional wellness' with the mean to advance
significant psychological wellness and prosperity and counteractive action of sick mental

welfare. Alongside this technique, they distributed a structure which sets out how associations
can meet the six targets made by the system. The fundamental piece of this structure will
influence youngsters that self-mischief would be the early mediation of administrations. Schools
will advance important emotional well-being for all children, and those that are at hazard will get
focused on a support (Department of wellbeing, 2011).
Mental scatters force an enormous monetary weight on the people with the disarranges as
well as on family units, groups, businesses, human services frameworks and government
spending plans. While there is plentiful research on the monetary weight of mental issue in highsalary countries,4,5 data on the financial outcomes of poor emotional well-being in low-end
center wage nations is limited.6,7 We draw on a couple of available reviews to evaluate the
immediate monetary effects of mental issue in low-end center wage countries (Nordgren, L. B.,
2014). Assessments of these financial expenses are probably going to be preservationist; few
assess the routes in which families assemble and divert assets that unfavorably influence them,
intensifying and propagating economic disparities. At the point when accumulated over an
economy, this family unit costs importantly affect the size and efficiency of the work drive and
on national wage.
Mental clusters sustain the cycle of destitution by meddling with the individual's ability
to work in either paid or non-salary parts, prompting diminished social, and also financial,
profitability. In this way, people with psychological wellness issues are regularly the poorest of
poor people, because neither they nor their family careers might have the capacity to work
(Nordgren, L. B., 2014). In some low-end center wage nations, where widespread access to
human services and budgetary and social security frameworks are regularly inadequate with
regards to, people with dysfunctional behavior may spend a lot of their reserve funds or get cash

to purchase ordinary as well as conventional meds and may have transportation challenges in
getting to these administrations.
Epidemiological reviews in low-end center pay nations progressively recommend a
requirement for neediness decrease measures: for example, confirm from Uganda, and Ethiopia
shows that destitution and broadening pay imbalances are significant dangers for depression.8,9
Breaking the chain of poverty and obligation around rationally sick individuals is imperative to
tending to the United Nations' (UNs') Millennium Development Goal 1 of destroying neediness
and yearning (Nordgren, L. B., 2014).
Multidisciplinary Impacts
The social, financial, human rights and political difficulties to worldwide emotional wellbeing tended to in this article incorporate the inseparable connection between psychological
well-being, neediness and obligation; the requirement for more wellbeing financial matters look
into on savvy intercessions; constrained subsidizing accessible to enhance access to emotional
wellness benefits, the demand for a move far from a grouping of whatever restricted assets are
accessible on authority benefits in real urban communities alone for better mix of emotional
wellness into nationwide essential care-drove benefits; the requirement for cautious key
exchange and activity around open arrangement and its execution; the part of wellbeing experts
and national components in scaling up access to administrations; the requirement for an
enhanced worldwide engineering for psychological wellness; the need to fortify connections
amongst mental and social advancement; lastly a thought of the significance of a human rights
approach as an extra lever to contend with changes in psychological well-being strategy and
usage (Nordgren, L. B., 2014).
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

Analysis and Recommendations
As indicated by an open review (Prior, 2010) a greater part of emotional wellness
sufferers has encountered segregation frequently. The administration is working with accomplice
associations, for example, 'Time to Change' to enhance psychological wellness results and
diminish social hindrances for individuals with emotional well-being issues. The branch of
wellbeing has turned into the primary association to join to the 'Opportunity to Change' conspire.
The point of this plan is to stop separation towards individuals with psychological wellness
issues and to teach the general population. They have propelled a commercial that proposes that
it is worthy to converse with people about emotional wellness and that it ought not to be kept
undercover (time-to-change, 2008).
Dindo and Van Liew assert that psychological interventions have a history of effectively
treating patients with mental health disorders. Also, psychotherapy research identifies essential
areas for improving patient care. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is one of the most
effective intervention strategies. ACT is based on the assumption that grief, pain, anxiety, and
disappointment are inevitable elements of human life. It enables patients to adapt to various
challenges by creating mental flexibility as opposed to involving in counterproductive trials to
eliminate undesirable behaviors. ACT Can be delivered in various formats, and it applies to more
than one mental-health disorder. Although this intervention program is successful and effective,
the issue of staff resistance poses a challenge to its implementation.
Hayes, et al. (2013) argues that acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a unified
approach to behavior change, associate with a particular model of scientific development known
as ‘contextual behavioral science.' This method tries to create sufficient psychological structures
based on philosophical clearness, principles, and assertions, as well as procedures and elements
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES
9
associated with mediation and moderation. He argues that ACT is trans-diagnostic and flexible
hence able to meet the unique needs of patients as well as help guarantee treatment adherence.
Nordgren, et al. (2014) cites that a considerable portion of the general population suffers
from mental-health disorders such as anxiety. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is an effective
treatment approach to patients with psychiatric conditions. It’s a short-term psychotherapy
treatment that entails problem-solving techniques. The purpose of cognitive-behavioral therapy
is to change the thinking or behavioral patterns of patients and thus change their feelings.
This intervention strategy is based on the ideology that a person’s feelings, thoughts, and
actions and interconnected, and therefore adverse actions and behaviors can deceive a person in a
vicious cycle. Unlike most mental health disorder interventions, CBT deals with a patient’s
current problems, instead of concentrating on the issue of the past. Cognitive behavior therapy
(CBT) has been proved to be an effective intervention approach to a range of mental health
conditions. This method can be used to people suffering from anxiety disorders, depression,
panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, eating disorders, and chronic
fatigue syndrome among others.
As stated earlier, cognitive behavior therapy is an effective intervention program for
patients with mental health disorder. However, this approach may not be practical for patients
with complex mental health issues. Also, the aim of this program entails the ability to bring
change to patients. However, some individuals feel that its focus is too narrow and ignores
various essential issues such as persona and family histories as well as wider emotional
problems.

Conclusion
This exploration recommends that there have been changes in the field of psychological
wellness and youngsters throughout the most recent a quarter century. One enormous change has
originated from society's perspective of psychological wellness, with associations alongside the
legislature these perspectives have and are being changed. The authority has discharged some
acts that have to upgrade the structure of the emotional well-being field, these demonstrations
alongside methodologies systems still in their initial stages ought to hold excellent seek after the
fate of the administration's given for the younger generations in the search for and helping
establish their psychological wellness issues.
