Independent advocacy for people with mental disorder

Independent advocacy for people with mental disorder

This report sets out the principles of advocacy and provides recommendations and guidance. Independent advocacy is an excellent way to ensure that an individual’s rights are upheld and that the individual receives the care and treatment that they are entitled to. It also has benefits for psychiatrists and can improve the quality of the relationships between people with mental health problems and professionals.
This report replaces CR74: Patient Advocacy, 1999.
