Ad Populum Consulting & Counseling, LLC

Providing Behavioral Health Consulting, Advocacy & Counseling With A Focus On Social And Fiscal Responsibility

---

Argumentum ad populum is a type of informal logical fallacy; it argues that simply because a certain opinion or attitude is held by a majority, it is therefore true.

This appeal to popularity serves as a focal point of Ad Populum Consulting & Counseling’s principles. This fallacy, that if many believe one way it must be so, can lead to internalized feelings of conflict, confusion, and doubt. When these feelings become pervasive it can lead to negative outcomes for the individual, organization, or a community. We maintain that being true to an identity, standing strong with your convictions, and moving forward with confidence in your decisions, despite the opinions of others, can lead to an individual, organization, or community reaching it’s full potential.
