ADULT MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCACY SERVICES

Matrix prides itself on offering a totally professional one to one, confidential, impartial and independent advocacy service to both in-patients and adults in the community.

We can assist clients in a variety of different ways. For example, we can inform patients of their rights under the Mental Health Act, attend and represent clients in ward rounds, discuss treatment issues with medical staff or request section 17 leave on their behalf.

Further to these, we can assist in matters connected to their home life, for example, discussions pertaining to household issues or assist contact with family members.

Where another organisation would be more appropriate to assist, we put clients in touch with them, for example the CAB for benefits advice or solicitors for various areas of legal advice.

In adult mental health we will usually work to an ‘instructed’ model of advocacy. That is, we will work ONLY to YOUR instructions. The only exception to this is where we are asked to do something that would jeopardize the professional integrity of the advocate and the organization. In this instance, we would not be able to accept client instructions.
