Advocacy is taking action to help people say what they want, secure their rights, represent their interests, and obtain the services they need.
Culturally Appropriate Advocacy is Advocacy that meets the cultural needs of the individual to help them effectively advocate for the care and treatment they need. Our Advocates address the specific challenges racially minoritised people face and challenge racism and discrimination.
Why do we need culturally appropriate mental health advocacy?
People that are from racially minoritised backgrounds (Black Asian, Arab and minority ethnic people) are more likely to experience difficulties in accessing mental health services and report worse outcomes, especially when in hospital.
Advocacy is an effective tool to address these racial disparities and ensure people accessing mental health services have their voice heard.
