Advocacy

A unique program, using competent and caring Personal Advocates, ACT for Life Services provides advocacy, oversight, and interventions in accordance with the person’s specific needs and the family’s plan.

Personal Advocates are an essential part of the mission of Life Services; they contribute years of educational, professional, and life experiences, but more importantly, they bring compassion and commitment to the participants. They are the voice for our individuals and help ensure that they have an enriched quality of life and are not lonely and isolated and can provide emergency supports and assistance.
