Client Rights, Advocacy and Volunteerism
Abstract
An examination of the role of volunteers in defending & defining
client rights in service institutions ranging from mental hospitals to
public welfare agencies. After tracing the history & dimensions of
the client rights movement & its impact on service delivery,
specific functions that volunteers can perform relative to client
rights in organizational settings are suggested. The special role of
volunteers in these situations arises from their unique status
vis-a-vis the organization & client & could not be duplicated
by professionals. HA.
