Systemic advocacy involves various aspects, such as inclusive leadership and clinical practice. The Socially Just and Culturally Responsive Counseling Leadership Model (SJCRCLM) will be described as a way for counselors to continue to help BIPOC LGBTQIA + individuals and families. This model has been used to discuss professional advocacy, but less to discuss client advocacy in practice. Ways to apply the SJCRCLM to BIPOC and LGBTQIA + clients, families, and communities, will be included. Understanding the advocacy needs of clients who intersect among the BIPOC and LGBTQIA + communities is crucial.
