Advocacy Practice for Social Justice

by Richard Hoefer

Advocacy Practice for Social Justice teaches readers how to understand the advocacy process, how to be an advocate, and how to help others advocate for themselves. Professor Hoefer argues that an ethical responsibility of all social workers is integrating social work advocacy into their practice and outlines a step-by-step process for planning and executing advocacy within a generalist practice.

Clear and comprehensive run-through manual for advocacy practice, should’ve enjoyed it more if it’s not for exam.

Great run-through of advocacy strategies from a social worker's perspective. Looking forward to applying them to some of the work I'm trying to do, and seeing if they'll benefit my approach as a lawyer in terms of achieving outcomes that maximize social justice.

For a textbook for school that is heavily theory based and dry it was actually a pretty good read. A great read for anyone looking to do policy/political/lobbying/program & policy analysis work.

Good, practical tips on how to get involved in policy advocacy and research. Good for someone wanting to get started in making a difference but not knowing how to!

Great set up and good information. Great way to get a working foundation knowledge about advocacy work. Provides relevant examples, was not excessively wordy, and it was fairly easy to read.
