This 4 month program aims to develop and build knowledge, skills, confidence and capacity to support you as a systemic advocate and undertake representational roles in national, state, local and organisation specific forums, committees and groups to provide input and advocate on behalf of those with a lived experience. Learning is undertaken in a supported communities of practice environment with consumer and carer peers.

 

The program consists of 6 x 2 hour Zoom sessions held over 4 months with learning, reflection and activities undertaken between sessions. You have the opportunity to practice skills learned as you progress through the program with the final session being a real-life advocacy representation opportunity.

 

The program is for consumers, families, carers and kin who undertake lived experience representational roles on committee, groups, or forums or are lived experience advocates in the mental health sector or are expecting to move into this role in the near future.
