Youth advocacy is a process of supporting and enabling young people to express their views and concerns, to access information and services, and to defend and promote their rights and responsibilities.
Self-advocacy means being able to speak up for yourself and what’s important to you.
As part of this, all young people receiving inpatient care and treatment in Willow Grove here in St Patrick's Mental Health Services can access an independent advocate through Youth Advocacy Programmes Ireland (YAP).
We also encourage you to self-advocate. Self-advocacy means being able to speak up for yourself and what’s important to you.
This video explains what advocacy means and explores how you can access advocacy supports to enhance your care and treatment.
