M measurable
A achievable
R realistic
T time boundHere are a few bad examples: I am going to keep an eye on food labels now not specific
Here is another one: S steamed M more fruit A Avoid fast food R cook real food T all of the Time. In this case the student doesnt have a clear objective and it doesnt meet the criteria needed.

How do your profession and ethical code guide you towards advocacy for marginalized populations and scientifically grounded practice?

Professional Context
Counselors and therapists have an ethical responsibility to advocate for marginalized populations with the goal of eliminating barriers for marginalized populations (ACA, 2014). Sue and Sue (2016) emphasized that this may require challenging the traditional assumptions of counseling and therapy. For example, this could involve recognizing that the locus of a clients problem may be the environment at school or work.Counselors and therapists must be prepared to act at the individual and systems level. Sue and Sue (2016) cited the literature on advocacy roles counselors and therapists may need to play, including advocate, change agent, facilitator of indigenous support systems, and advisor. Promoting social justice will require counselors and therapists to be prepared to intervene to act at the micro, meso, and macro levels as discussed by Dr. Paylo. You may also find use in referring to the Advocacy Competency Domains media piece when crafting the specific appeals in your letter.Scenario
During your internship at the Riverbend City clinic, you have been training to be alert to the impact of oppression and discrimination on mental health. Thus, you are in an excellent position not only to assess the impact of discrimination on clients but also to act as an advocate to reduce discrimination at a systems level. In fact, your knowledge of the research literature along with the first-hand experience you are building with clients empowers you as a professional who can speak on behalf of marginalized populations.As a professional counselor or marriage and family therapist you and a member of a professional association you make it a point to remain aware of national and state advocacy campaigns (for example, see the ACA’s Take Action website linked in the resources).You notice there is an active legislative campaign to ban conversion therapy in your state. This is disturbing to you given your first-hand experience with the risks of addiction and mental health disorders faced by teens who are gay due to discrimination (see the Huffington Post article or NBC Learn video linked in the resources).You bring this up in supervision as you want to take action to support the ban on conversion therapy. You ask if your supervisor would offer some pointers for drafting a letter to your state legislators to raise their awareness on the risk of conversion therapy and urge them to support the legislation to oppose the ban. You also ask if your supervisor would review your letter once it is drafted as you want to ensure that your presentation of the facts is accurate, well-written, and sufficiently persuasive.Reference

(2016). Counseling the culturally diverse: Theory and practice (7th ed.). Hoboken, NJ: Wiley.Assignment Instructions
For this assignment, you will compose a letter to a legislative member which advocates for them to take specific action on the topic of conversion therapy policy. In your letter, you should emphasize evidence and research-based reasoning to support your platform. However, you should not completely disregard the use of anecdotal evidence of patients to emphasize the human and emotional elements of the subject. The use of rhetoric or other persuasive writing strategies is also recommended (see the Riverbend City: Making a Case with Solid Rhetoric media piece for extra practice, if you have not already worked through it). Additionally, keep in mind that you are advocating from your role as a counseling or therapy professional on behalf of clients or populations you work with. While your personal feeling may or may not align specifically with the professions platform on the issue, it is important that you are able to differentiate between your professional responsibilities and personal views.In your letter, make sure to address the following:Present your counseling or therapy profession (for example, Clinical Mental Health Counseling), your ethical obligation to advocate for marginalized populations, and scientifically grounded practice.

In 2-3 pages, students will investigate dysfunctional beliefs, injustices, and other concepts that they may perceive to exist – from stereotypes or beliefs that may actually exist to topics/injustices that have been introduced thus far in undergraduate coursework.

This assignment will ask students to expand on each of the following questions:
What injustices and/or dysfunctional beliefs are you passionate about? Why?
Seek out two articles that further informs you on a dysfunctional belief and/or injustice of your choice. What are the findings? Explain, and be sure to appropriately cite using APA format.
Which dysfunctional beliefs and/or injustices can be “reframed?” How so?
Consider a risk or vulnerability that may be associated with a dysfunctional belief and/or injustice of your choice, or also of your first-year college experience. How can the risk or vulnerability be reframed? How might resiliency and vulnerability be associated with reframing?
