Description

We provide an advocacy service for those with mental health and addictions issues, aged 18 years and over. Staff all have lived experience of mental unwellness and support, encourage, provide a peer-to-peer support service and advocate from a position of understanding and without judgement. We aim to provide short-to-medium term support, which places the individual at the heart of their own recovery. 

The service is provided in the short to medium term and encourages independence and links back into the community.
