Beyond the paradigm shift: effective AND ethical collaborative advocacy

September 28, 2024 Video

Explore the nuances of Collaborative Advocacy as outlined in Section 3.2 of the IACP Ethical Standards. This webinar, originally presented at AACP’s Road to Resolution Conference in 2021, delves into strategies for maintaining client self-determination while balancing realistic expectations. What happens when trust is low, goodwill is scarce or personal values conflict with professional obligations? These challenges are addressed head-on, providing insight into using an interest-based approach when tensions are high. Learn how to set achievable goals, support client autonomy and navigate interpersonal dynamics—without compromising outcomes.

Key Questions:

  • How do we use an interest-based model when trust is minimal?
  • What does it truly mean to set realistic expectations?
  • How do we empower client self-determination in challenging scenarios?
  • How do we ensure our values don’t overshadow professional obligations?
  • How can we avoid escalating interpersonal conflicts?

Watch the full recording to gain a deeper understanding of these complex dynamics and refine your advocacy approach.

This webinar will help collaborative professionals increase their capacity to be more effective non-adversarial advocates.
