No it was sort of funny! Because you would have a good point- these organizations aren’t as funded as they need to be. Someone once told me about paid health advocates, when someone has complex diseases and isn’t well enough to coordinate all the care.
Also children’s hospitals have “child life specialists” that help families not only coordinate care but getting caught up in school too.

I’m sure truly effective advocacy doesn’t exist for mental illness yet. But no offense taken. I was was just wondering out loud if these organizations are moving towards that model
