Lived Experience Peer Worker Handbook

The easy to read Handbook will outline the nuances of Lived Experience (Peer) roles across different specialisations including service settings and locations (community services, regional and remote, emergency departments, telehealth, inpatient and community treatment) across the mental health, alcohol and other drug and suicide prevention sectors. It will reflect the diversity of Lived Experience (Peer) roles including leadership, peer support, research, policy development, systemic advocacy and education.

The Handbook, and its resources, are aimed specifically at the Lived Experience (Peer) workforces, however, it will no doubt be of interest and value to employers and those working alongside Lived Experience (Peer) workers.
