Collective Advocacy – LGBTQIA+

• Do you identify as LGBTQIA+?
• Do you live in Edinburgh?
• Have you used mental health services and/or have lived experience of mental health issues?
• Do you want to share experiences with others like you and work together to have your say about mental health services?

Get involved in this Collective Advocacy project! Collective Advocacy supports people to speak up about their experiences, values, and expectations. It enables people to find a stronger voice, to campaign and influence the agendas and decisions that shape and affect their lives. Collective advocacy can help planners, commissioners, service providers and researchers to know what is working well, where gaps are in services and how best to target resources. It helps legislators and policy makers to create opportunities for people to challenge discrimination and inequality and helps people learn to become more active citizens.
