What
does the Advocate do?
Jane's
job is to help adults with developmental disabilities and their families get
good quality services. She can help with services from the Ministry of
Children and Family Development, from other ministries, or from service
agencies in the community.
When
should I call Jane?
If you
have a problem with services you can contact Jane to talk it over. She will
try to do something about it. She also encourages and helps adults to
advocate for themselves.
For
example, Jane will try to help:
 | if you do not
like the services you are getting |
| if you think you
are not treated fairly or with respect |
| if you have
problems with your social worker, financial aid worker, or support
worker, or |
| if you have
problems with where you live. |
