Be a part of the ALIVE Lived Experience Research Collective!

Hi all,

We thought we'd just spread the word about an opportunity to take part in a lived experience research committee lead Group, with the ALIVE National Centre for Mental Health Research Translation.

The group assists to embed people with lived experience of mental ill health to strengthen lived experience research - and make sure that the voices of people who've navigated the mental health system are heard at every level.

If you're interested in finding out more, you can read the details of the expression of interest here-

It's available to anyone across Australia

The aims of the initiative are:

1) improve experience of care through more effective and innovative models of care and health system redesign;
2) reduce early mortality through evidence-based strategies for addressing physical, behavioural, psychological and other determinants;
3) foster innovative, multidisciplinary approaches to mental health by bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders with Lived-Experience and professional expertise to define the issues, provide evidence for solutions, deliver improved health outcomes and outlooks for people living with mental illness; and
4) engage and develop the next generation of mental health research leaders

If you're interested in joining the lived experience research collective, you can also do that here

Just tagging some of our amazing community guides who may be interested in taking part- but this is open to anyone who may be interested!
