Hi!
A mental health advocate is a go between between you and mental health services. Sometimes they offer legal help, but sometimes they "know the ropes" and can tell you where to turn. They're like a cross between a social worker and a paralegal. Mine has a masters degree and really knows her stuff. She's helping me with other services offered by legal aid, like credit report help. Who knew?

I got into an Intensive Outpatient Program thru my local hospital. All hospitals have social workers, too. You can always try and ask them their advice. Good luck!
