THe Advocate role
Being an advocate is an important role in the Link2Hope platform, one that we take seriously and we hope you do as well. As an advocate you have agreed to step up to support and encourage a friend who is struggling.
We offer training for our advocates and strongly encourage you to sign up for the next training event. These trainings take one evening of your time and are designed to help you get started in this role. Link2Hope is also full of resources that will help you continue to build skills.
An advocate is a person connected to an individual or family in need who provides support in various ways.
Until you’re able to attend a training session, we encourage you to visit the following resources and to spend some time praying for your Link2Hope friend. These resources are mostly articles and videos.
