Community Advocacy
Our services are independent from health or social services and what you tell us will remain confidential
Our community advocacy service is for young people or adults who being seen by CAMHS or Adult / Older Adult Mental Health Services who may be:
- Experiencing significant mental health illness or disorder
- Recently discharged from the psychiatric wards
- On Leave of Absence (Article 24 of the Mental Health (Jersey) Law 2016
- Struggling with dementia or other conditions which make people question their Capacity
We can provide support to individuals who:
- Need help to speak up for themselves
- Have problems getting people to listen to their views
- Feel vulnerable or at risk of abuse
- Feel they are being discriminated against
- Need help to access services that can support their mental health or independence
Our advocates can help with writing letters, making phone calls, arranging meetings and providing support during them.
