Advocacy

We understand that it can be difficult to focus on your mental and physical wellbeing if you are struggling with practical issues. You may not feel confident to ask for help or know where to go to access appropriate support. Our Advocacy Team can help you to identify the issues you require support with and gain access to other agencies who can offer specific help.

Advocacy support takes many varied forms such as:

• Help to complete benefit/housing applications
• Attending appointments with your GP, Mental Health Practitioner or Psychiatrist
• Accompanying you to meetings with your social worker, solicitor, Local Councillor or MSP to ensure that your point of view is expressed and respected.

Advocacy support is provided by our highly skilled and experienced Advocacy Worker and is available throughout the support pathway.
