Advocacy
Supporting individual autonomy is the core of our work. We believe that each person deserves to have control over their lives and make their own choices based on what is important to them.
ARES Advocates provide you with balanced information so you can make decisions. We identify the tools available to you and show you how to use them. We walk with you to get other services that you may need. Whatever challenges you may face, ARES Advocates are prepared to support you.
If you are struggling to get effective communication access at an immigration appointment, need to figure out your health insurance options, or want support at a medical appointment, ARES Advocates provide different levels of advocacy so you can navigate your situation with confidence.
