Advocacy/Peer Support

Our advocacy and peer support service is run by people who have personally used mental health services, is confidential and independant of hospitals and other health service providers, is not only related to health issues, is free!

Aspire Advocates can help you to:

  • Find information about your situation
  • Ensure your rights are respected, e.g. under the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment & Treatment) Act 1992
  • Support you to reach acceptable outcomes from appointments, e.g. accommodation, legal services and multi disciplinary team meetings (MDT)
  • Assist you to use complaint procedures when you wish to make a complaint
  • Provide support with appointments in the hospital and in the community.
