Individual Advocacy for people experiencing an eating disorder
This is a Claimed service
This service is for people living anywhere in Lothian, either in the community or in hospital, aged between 16-65 who are experiencing an eating disorder. It can be hard to take in lots of complicated information in meetings. You may feel overwhelmed, rushed or not listened to. We can help you to have your voice heard in all sorts of issues relating to your eating disorder. Examples of common things people come to us for assistance with are:
- Mental Health Tribunals
- Benefits Assessments
- Social Work meetings
- Speaking to your doctor
- Getting advice when you need it e.g. Citizen’s Advice or solicitor
We can’t give you advice or legal representation on your situation ourselves or act as counsellors or befrienders. We are there to help you explain your point of view and what you want to happen so we will never tell you what to do or take anyone else’s side except yours.
