We should fill the holes left by ourselves or by others, so those who come after us will have a smoother path forward.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>How often do I see people talking about &#8220;wanting to be an advocate&#8221; and waiting for someone to invite them to be some sort of official spokesperson as if that is what makes one an advocate. It&#8217;s not. Advocates see holes and fill them. Sometimes that&#8217;s volunteering to work with kids, sometimes it&#8217;s telling your story, and sometimes it&#8217;s just seeing the people around you dealing with child abuse or mental health and letting them know they aren&#8217;t alone.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, my advocacy is this blog, social media, and other areas where I think my lived experience, my story, would be beneficial to share. Sometimes it&#8217;s doing a fundraiser or attending an event to help raise money, and sometimes it&#8217;s simply sharing some other resource that I think would be helpful to folks.<\/p>\n<p>Advocacy isn&#8217;t one thing, it&#8217;s seeing a hole and trying to fill it. It&#8217;s something as simple as reading a blog post and thinking, &#8220;you know, I know someone who would be helped by reading this&#8221;, and sending it to them, just as much as it&#8217;s speaking to hundreds of people in person.<\/p>\n<p>So, don&#8217;t wait for someone to ask you to advocate, look for holes you can fill, and work to do so. Believe me, we need all of us.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/themighty.com\/2021\/09\/mental-health-advocate-bridge-gaps\/\">https:\/\/themighty.com\/2021\/09\/mental-health-advocate-bridge-gaps\/<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><span class=\"syn-text\">Also on:<\/span><ul class=\"relsyn\"><li><a aria-label=\"flipboard\" class=\"u-syndication syn-link\" href=\"https:\/\/flipboard.com\/@mikemac29\/child-abuse-survivors-8o2743fsz\"> <span class=\"syndication-link-icon svg-flipboard\" style=\"display: inline-block; max-width: 1rem; margin: 2px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-label=\"Flipboard\" title=\"Flipboard\" ><svg role=\"img\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><title>Flipboard<\/title><path d=\"M0 0v24h24V0H0zm19.2 9.6h-4.8v4.8H9.6v4.8H4.8V4.8h14.4v4.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a aria-label=\"facebook\" class=\"u-syndication syn-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/219569363651\/posts\/514768647139771\"> <span class=\"syndication-link-icon svg-facebook\" style=\"display: inline-block; max-width: 1rem; margin: 2px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-label=\"Facebook\" title=\"Facebook\" ><svg role=\"img\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><title>Facebook<\/title><path d=\"M9.101 23.691v-7.98H6.627v-3.667h2.474v-1.58c0-4.085 1.848-5.978 5.858-5.978.401 0 .955.042 1.468.103a8.68 8.68 0 0 1 1.141.195v3.325a8.623 8.623 0 0 0-.653-.036 26.805 26.805 0 0 0-.733-.009c-.707 0-1.259.096-1.675.309a1.686 1.686 0 0 0-.679.622c-.258.42-.374.995-.374 1.752v1.297h3.919l-.386 2.103-.287 1.564h-3.246v8.245C19.396 23.238 24 18.179 24 12.044c0-6.627-5.373-12-12-12s-12 5.373-12 12c0 5.628 3.874 10.35 9.101 11.647Z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a aria-label=\"x\" class=\"u-syndication syn-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CA_Survivor\/status\/1576663547165245441\"> <span class=\"syndication-link-icon svg-x\" style=\"display: inline-block; max-width: 1rem; margin: 2px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-label=\"X\" title=\"X\" ><svg role=\"img\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><title>X<\/title><path d=\"M18.901 1.153h3.68l-8.04 9.19L24 22.846h-7.406l-5.8-7.584-6.638 7.584H.474l8.6-9.83L0 1.154h7.594l5.243 6.932ZM17.61 20.644h2.039L6.486 3.24H4.298Z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><span class=\"kt-load-after-post\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How often do I see people talking about &#8220;wanting to be an advocate&#8221; and waiting for someone to invite them to be some sort of official spokesperson as if that is what makes one an advocate.
