The Mental Health Advocacy Service (MHAS) is an independent statutory body that amplifies the voices and protects the rights of people using, and seeking to use, mental health services, and people with mental impairment in the criminal justice system.
MHAS Advocates assist people in getting heard, raise systemic issues and they work to resolve issues and complaints. MHAS workforce members work in independence from mental health and justice services to maintain trust with the people who are advocated for.
