Oh no, I am sorry. I didn't mean it that way. I really didn't know it existed. Thanks for this link. I learned something new. Absolutely did not mean to offend and sorry if it came off that way.

later: Okay, checked the link. I know about these, stuff like NAMI. When I say advocacy I mean someone who will help you get the help you need, but also, someone who will hear about your experiences and give feedback when you've been treated unfairly. Ideally a trusted family member could be an advocate. Or even a minister. More often people are alone. I haven't found NAMI that helpful. In my state the crisis hotline people are filling in the gaps and doing a pretty good job. But it isn't counseling.
