Trafford Mental Health Advocacy Service (TMHAS) is an experienced provider of advocacy services for people affected by mental health difficulties across Trafford, managed by VCAT and based at Park House in Sale.

TMHAS seeks to bring about changes in the lives of those experiencing mental health difficulties, by enabling them to have a direct say in the issues that affect them and have their views and needs heard and acted upon.

TMHAS Advocates Can Help You To Get Your Voice Heard and Find Out Your Rights

• Do you need someone to speak at your meetings or appointments?
• Do you want support to make phone calls, write letters or ask questions?
• Do you feel you need some help getting your point across?
• Do you feel the need help to make complaints, or ask for reviews?
• Do you want help to find out about your rights, get information or advice?

TMHAS is run by qualified Mental Health Advocacy Workers who deliver quality services across a variety of settings both in the community and hospitals. The hospital service now covers Independent Mental Health Advocacy (IMHA) with advocates that are trained to work within the framework of the Mental Health Act (1983) to provide additional safeguards to those detained under the act.
