Dundee Independent Advocacy Support – Twenty Years 1998-2018

Welcome to Dundee Independent Advocacy Support (DIAS)

Independent advocacy offers people the opportunity to take control over their own lives by enabling them to exercise choice based on their own needs and wishes and to have their views heard and responded

We provide independent advocacy for people over the age of 21 years in the City of Dundee

ARE OVER THE AGE OF 65

Vulnerable people living in the Dundee area who are aged 65 or over and require help.

MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

Those living with mental health problems such as anxiety, depression or bipolar disorder.

DEMENTIA

People with symptoms associated with a severe decline in memory or other thinking skills.

LEARNING & PHYSICAL DISABILITIES

Those with a physical or learning condition that significantly impairs their daily living.

Substance Use Issues

supporting people with drug and alcohol issues supporting them to address the barriers that they identify are limiting their well-being and recovery.

We also accept referrals on behalf of individuals who fall under any of these categories.

WHAT IS ADVOCACY?

Advocacy services can help people navigate their way through life’s ups and down. An independent advocate can help you build your confidence, empowering you to speak up in situations where you’d normally feel unable to, and will provide continued support until you feel you are able to so on your own i.e. ‘self-advocacy’.

TESTIMONIALS

I was completely lost. I didn’t know what to do with myself and I felt like there was a great dark cloud over me. I don’t feel like that now. I have a great life now
