Our Independent Mental Health Advocates (IMHAs) provide an additional safeguard for individuals who are subject to the Mental Health Act (2007).
We provide a statutory service under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 in Trafford, which empowers people who lack capacity to be involved in the decision making process.

Our Advocates can assist and support adults in making a formal complaint to the NHS; or help empower the individual to find their own voice and self-advocate. We offer Health Complaints Advocacy across Trafford.
An Advocate can help you understand the Child Protection process and support you to make sure your voice is heard.
