Summary of services
An Advocate is someone who works alongside you and can help you in the following ways: to say what you want and need regarding your services, care and treatment at meetings with professionals;to identify and access services you may not be getting which could benefit you (not just mental health services);to obtain information and discuss options with you so that you can make informed choices;to take action if you feel you have been treated unfairly because of your mental health.An advocate takes the person's side independently of all other professionals and services.
