Where do I get an advocate to speak on my behalf?

Answer 1

You should ask at your local hospital or community mental health team. In the UK it is now the law that anyone with a mental illness can have the support of an advocate. If you live in London each borough has its own advocacy service. I could not have managed without the support and advice of my advocate.
They will support you in CPA meetings and help you articulate to mental health professionals exactly what you want from the service

Answer 2

I was working as a peer advocate for the dually diagnosed for the last two years through the local ACT program (Assertive Community Treatment). Your local mental health clinic should know the closest one to you.

Or you could contact your local office of The National Alliance for Mental Health:
