Mental Health Accompaniment/Support
10
I will ask you to describe the reasons you would like mental health advocacy. I cannot diagnose or treat your illness, but I am able to help you ensure all your needs are addressed by discussing them with you prior to your appointment, accompany you to your appointment, support you as you bring them up, and remind you if any have been missed, essentially, help you create an atmosphere that strengthens your voice in your mental health treatment.
I am not affiliated with any medical agency. My only goal is your complete wellness and satisfaction while being treated for mental illness. Mental health treatment can be an overwhelming experience, more so than any other medical treatment due to the severe power imbalance medical practioners have over patients. I speak from first-hand experience, both personal and from helping others. My goal is only to help you walk out of your appointments feeling you were heard and someone is addressing your medical concerns.
