Have you got a problem?
Do you feel no-one is listening to you?
An advocate may be able to help!
Advocates do these things:
- listen to you
- get to know you
- help you to think about what you want
- help you to tell people what you want and make sure they listen to you
Advocates don't do these things:
- tell you what to do
- take other people's side
An advocate can help if you have a problem with:
- housing
- care services
- health services
- getting your rights
- school or college
