This course describes what the Protection and Advocacy System is and what protection and advocacy agencies and organizations do. Person-Centered Counseling (PCC) Professionals will gain an understanding of how protection and advocacy relates to working in the No Wrong Door (NWD) system, and when it might be appropriate to partner with or refer someone to a protection and advocacy agency. The learner will also become oriented to person-centered thinking and practices as it relates to the protection and advocacy role of PCC Professionals working in the NWD system.
