CAPS Independent Advocacy
- VO103464
Have you experienced psychosis? Do you live within Edinburgh or the Lothians?
Do you want to:
Have your say about information and services for people who have experienced psychosis?
Try to make changes in the way you are treated or the services that you receive?
Then get in touch and get involved in this collective advocacy project!
This project works to have a stronger voice for the lived experience of psychosis and to raise awareness and work for change. We believe in liberty and equality.
The group decides what it wants to do – it is experience-led. We hope to work to redress power inequalities for people with lived experience of psychosis. As well as challenge discrimination and assumptions, and to influence services and society. We do this through conversations with others dealing with psychosis, whether as a professional, from their own experience, or in the community.
Experience required
No particular skills are required but you should have your own lived experience of psychosis.
