What is Advocacy?
Advocacy is about making sure your voice is heard.
There may be times when you feel that you are not being listened to, find it difficult to express what you want, or need help understanding your rights and choices around a specific decision. An advocate can support you to have your say and make sure your views, wishes and feelings are taken seriously.
An advocate can help you to:
Understand your rights and choices and support you to participate in a decision making process.
Express your views, wishes and feelings.
Understand information and decisions that affect you, such as care options, assessments or decisions being made about you.
Ask questions and make sure you are listened to
Explore your options so you can make your own informed decisions
Advocacy is about empowering you, not making decisions for you. An advocate will listen to what matters to you and support you to speak up for yourself, or communicate your views on your behalf when needed.
Your voice. Your choices. Your rights.
