Advocacy is important in empowering you to express your views and concerns, to access information, to protect your rights, and to play an active part in your mental health care plan and recovery.
Self-advocacy means being able to speak up for yourself and what’s important to you, to be informed about your rights, and to make choices and decisions for yourself.
