Flintshire Advocacy Services
Advocacy services for people in FlintshireWhat does it do?
Flintshire Advocacy Services provide independent advocacy primarily to residents of Flintshire.
We are able to work with anyone who feels that our service is one they need, with no requirement to be in mental health services or with a formal mental health diagnosis.
We have eight paid advocates, who work with adults, older people, younger people with dementia and carer's.
In partnership with two other advocacy organisations, we provide the North Wales Independent Mental Health Advocacy (IMHA) Service for which we cover the counties of Flintshire and Wrexham.
We achieved the Advocacy Quality Performance Mark in May 2010.
