These sessions may be provided to consumer or provider groups of five or more people. The list of the programmes available is set out below, but sessions can be tailored to best suit the needs of your group as well as the time available.

 To discuss your needs and to make arrangements with the advocate in your area please telephone 0800 555 050 or email advocacy@advocacy.org.nz or contact your local advocate here.
