What is Independent Mental Health Advocacy (IMHA)?

An IMHA advocate is independent of mental health services, and can help eligible people get their opinions heard and make sure they know their rights under mental health law.  

People tell us that an IMHA can make a big difference to their experience of detention and the service is highly valued.

Changes to the Mental Health Act 1983 in 2007 placed a duty on local authorities to provide an IMHA service to all ‘qualifying patients’ from April 2009.
