Lived Experience Framework

Service Locations: Central Coast
Home / Mental Health Programs / Lived Experience Framework

What is Lived Experience Framework?

We are establishing a peer work hub that can provide a meeting place for current peer workers. The space will be easily accessible to both mental health peer workers and people in the community. The space will become one that supports people across the Lifespan.

We will be establishing and leading a Community of Practice for organisations implementing peer workforce.

How to Access

To become a part of the Live Experience Framework Project, please contact us on 02 4365 2294 and ask about Lived Experience Framework.

The Lived Experience Framework has been developed by the Mental Health Commission of NSW and responds to the call to embed lived experience across the mental health and social service sectors.

In designing the framework, the commission worked with many people with lived experience, their families, and their carers as well as many other stakeholders.

The Framework includes a language guide, vision, guiding principles, actions, and implementation approach.

People with lived experience inform the way programs and services are developed in the sector.
