Your Voice Counts Advocacy Services
How can a Your Voice Counts advocate help you?
​
An advocate is someone who can help you speak up about what is important to you.
An advocate can:
-
listen to your views and concerns
-
help you explore your options and rights
-
provide information to help you make informed decisions
-
help you contact relevant people, or contact them on your behalf
-
accompany you and support you in meetings or appointments
An advocate will not:
-
give you their personal opinion
-
make decisions for you
-
make judgements about you
​
If you think you, or someone you know, would benefit from an advocate’s support, you can call our free helpline on 0800 048 7856, or email us at yvc.uk@nhs.net, to find out more. We’ll let you know if someone from our organisation can help you, or if they can’t, we’ll aim to connect you to another organisation who can.
