How Can An Advocate Help You
AN ADVOCATE CAN:
- HELP YOU FIND INFORMATION
- GIVE YOU TIME TO THINK ABOUT YOUR CHOICES
- LISTEN TO YOU AND HELP YOU SAY WHAT YOU WANT
- WORK TOWARDS BUILDING YOUR CONFIDENCE TO SPEAK UP FOR YOURSELF
IN FUTURE
AN ADVOCATE WILL NOT:
- GIVE YOU ADVICE OR MAKE DECISIONS FOR YOU
- WORK WITH YOU ALL THE TIME OR BE THERE INDEFINITELY
- TAKE OTHER PEOPLES SIDE
- PROVIDE LEGAL REPRESENTATION
AN ADVOCATE IS NOT THE SAME AS:
- A COUNSELLOR OR BEFRIENDER
- A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER
- A LAWYER OR SOLICITOR
- SOCIAL OR HEALTHCARE WORKERS
