Joining BEING’s Consumer Register provides a powerful way for BEING members to become Lived Experience leaders for mental health reform.
BEING is asked regularly for people with lived experience to lend their voice. Sometimes it’s the government, other times it’s universities, research institutes or hospitals. At time it can also be the media.
We start our search with our Consumer Register. So, if you want to take your advocacy to the next level, and are passionate about working toward common goals to make the most systemic change, we’d love to receive your application!
The reasons why a Lived Experience leader is needed is varied, but it can include:
- Focus groups
- Consultations
- Co-design, co-production, co-creation
- Committee meetings
- Advisory groups
- Speakers for an event
- Speakers for a media story
