Advocacy

Advocacy means to speak up for someone.

Most of us at sometime in our lives speak up for others or hope that someone will speak up for us when we need support.

An advocate is the name for a person who is going to speak up for you.

If you are going to have a meeting about your future, about where you will go to live next, about the medication that you are taking, or anything else that is really important to you, an advocate can speak up for you and help other people understand what you want to say.
