If you feel this way an advocate might be able to help you. Anyone you choose can be your advocate-family, friends, community representatives. Or, ask the Kikino M\u00e9tis Children & Family Services Society for names and numbers of people and organizations in your area who can act as an advocate or provide support. You can also call one of the advocates listed below, free of cost.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
