Lived Experience Group
Shaping the work that we do.
We work hard to understand the needs and experiences of people with mental health issues. This drives everything we do, and, wherever we can, we actively seek opportunities for people with lived experiences of mental health problems to get involved and guide our work.

Our new Lived Experience Group is working across the organisation and helping us to grow the impact and diversity of people’s voices.
