During the review of the Mental Health Alliance's strategic priorities, one of the areas we wanted to focus on was to develop our lived experience work... particularly how we can embed lived experience within our own organisations.

As part of that, we are hosting a lived experience event for the Mental Health Alliance to share where we are up to/learning as well as start to explore a skills development pathway for our lived experience groups/individuals (including a pathway from service user/beneficiary to paid work).

This event will also be an opportunity to find the right platform for updates around lived experience work and how we can foster a community of practice for both organisations within the alliance and people with lived experience to share best practice from both perspectives.
