Model of Advocacy
The aim of advocacy in all its forms is to ensure that people are not deprived of their rights through lack of information, lack of resources or the lack of someone to speak up for them.
The mental health advocacy service provides a short term, issue focused intervention designed to empower the individual service user. We are user led and work on the issues that are important to you.
In general an issue based service offers an intervention to address a specific issue or situation and is not intended to be ongoing. It aims to be short term and focused but will exist for the time it takes to resolve the issue or issues.
Key Points are as follows:
- It is short term
- Issue specific & has a clear purpose
- User led
- Free
- Independent
- Confidential
We can support you to:
- Express your views and concerns
- Support you at meetings
- Explore choices and options
- Access information and services
- Defend your rights
