"Dewis Advocacy is great..."

A quote from an Advocacy client

"Dewis Advocacy is great, they were easy to self refer and have supported me to find my voice in a variety of situations including those very difficult times and have taught me how to approach things realistically. My advocate is friendly and very approachable, I know I can talk to them about anything."
