Title: Using Power and Privilege for Social Justice in Mental Health Services

Power and Privilege
Power and privilege are present in society and impact organizations, hiring practices, promotions, workplace engagement, client services, project development, educational services, home-buying processes (for example, home loan rates offered to consumers), and economic development. Reflect on the power and privileges you enjoy. For this discussion:
Share how you can use your power and privilege to advocate for social justice to reduce the social issue presented in your Social Issues assignment. (continued from previous work the lack of mental health service funding)
Next, discuss how power and privilege has adversely impacted the local community or clients (or client system) you work with as a social work intern. Be specific and use the readings to inform your response.
