This online session is to give an overview of how our range of advocacy services in North-East England operate and have adapted to COVID-19. It is aimed at local voluntary and community organisations, rather than at individuals, statutory services or organisations from outside the North East, and is presented as part of our marking of Mental Health Week

In this session we will cover:

• An overview of how our advocacy services are delivered
• Myth-busting any misunderstandings about advocacy not being available, or cannot be achieved effectively remotely
• An overview of the range of our advocacy services available, who they are for,how they work and how you can refer people to us
• An outline of the key challenges and concerns affecting our most disadvantaged communities and the individuals in need of advocacy
