vulnerable adult advocacy

Vulnerable adult advocacy involves providing support and ensuring the rights of adults who may be at increased risk of harm due to age, health, or personal circumstances. It aims to promote their well-being, protect them from abuse or neglect, and help them voice their preferences and make informed decisions. Advocates act as neutral allies, empowering vulnerable adults to access services, understand their rights, and be treated with dignity and respect. This work is essential for safeguarding those who might struggle to communicate or advocate for themselves effectively.
