Voices for Change: Systemic Advocacy Development Learning Series
Thank you for your interest in applying to join the Voices for Change - Systemic Advocacy Development Learning Series (SADLS), co-led by Mental Health Carers NSW and Mental Health Carers Australia.
This facilitated learning series supports the development of lived experience advocates in mental health, with a focus on systemic change. We particularly welcome unpaid mental health carers, and people with dual lived experience as both carers and consumers, who are ready to strengthen their advocacy voice, connect with peers, and influence how mental health systems and services are shaped.
The training program consists of six interactive 2-hour sessions delivered via Zoom.

Session 1 - Thurs Feb 26, 2026 (5:00pm - 7:00pm)
Session 2 - Thurs March 12, 2026 (5:00pm - 7:00pm)
