Advocacy Services Aims • To help people to stand up for themselves and to empower people to be heard by other people or organizations who have power over them. Main Activities and Services • Currently there are no specific services for people with an acquired brain injury in Glasgow, but you may be able to use another advocacy service if you fit into another category (e.g. if you are an older person or you also have a mental health problem). There are at least 14 different projects in and around Glasgow. • Advocacy Services are usually provided by independent voluntary organisations. These organisations deliver advocacy in a number of ways including; Professional Advocacy, usually provided by a paid worker, who will work with a number of people. The support they offer is usually focussed on specific issues and time limited. Citizen Advocacy, where an unpaid, ordinary person is asked to get to know and represent just one person over a longer period of time and Group/Collective advocacy people coming together as a group to support each other and tackle shared issues, helped by an advocacy project.
