Description

Independent Mental Health Advocates or IMHAs are specialist advocates who are trained specifically to work within the framework of the MHA.

Delivered by experienced lecturer Steph Barber of Law Hound, this course will examine the role of the IMHA in England. Consideration will be given to who IMHAs are, what their role is and how to access their services. Guidance will also be offered in respect of the support available and the issue of confidentiality.

Intended as an introduction to, or reminder for, those wishing to specialise in mental health law and tribunal work, this session will discuss qualifying patients and the duty to provide information about IMHAs.
