Long-term Citizen Advocacy is focused on building strong, lasting friendships where both individuals can flourish and learn from each other. For Advocacy Partners, this often means:

• Having a consistent friend to share life with and reduce isolation.
• Someone who will stand by them through changes, challenges, and opportunities.
• Ongoing support to make choices about their own lives with confidence.
• Help to access new opportunities in the community
• A trusted person to encourage them and to speak up with or for them if needed.
