Since 1998 both MAP and EIRIOL have developed and provided a wide range of innovative mental health advocacy services in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire with collaboration with Eich Dewis Chi in Ceredigion.

Currently both organisations provide adult mental health advocacy services to people who use the services of Pembrokeshire & Derwen NHS Trust; Hospitals, inpatient and community settings; Prisons; Secure Units; Private Sector providers; Housing Associations, the 3 Local Authority Social Services; and Adult Protection Teams. Both organisations work as a priority with people detained under the Mental Health Act 1983.

MAP provides a full time advocacy service for Older People with mental health issues in Pembrokeshire, and the majority of these clients have varying degrees of dementia with little or no capacity to instruct. EIRIOL provides a part time service for this client group.

MAP is unique in Wales in providing the first full time independent advocacy service for Children and Young People with mental health issues.

Both organisations and their services work with people with dual diagnosis, people with learning disabilities, acquired brain injury, people with early onset dementia, stroke and long-standing inpatients in rehabilitation areas.

Working with some of the most socially excluded and disempowered people in society both organisations have developed a wealth of experience in working with people for whom communication and making decisions is problematic and whose capacity is frequently questioned.
