The Lived Experience Leadership Digital Library is a central repository of mental health consumer and carer leadership-related knowledge and initiatives:
The toolkit provides users with a selection of tools and resources to assist in exploring and assessing their own governance processes and formulate a pathway towards embedding lived experience governance across their systems, structures, policies, processes, practices, programs and services.
‘the Framework’ responds to calls from the mental health and other sectors for changes in the way systems are governed to align them more strongly with human rights approaches and to meaningfully embrace lived experience. Its applicability and reach span a spectrum of settings and sectors.
The paper provides recommendations for improving existing training options, career opportunities and support structures to strengthen the lived experience (peer) workforces incl. key opportunities for growth, expansion, professionalisation and advocacy
