Bright new future for BEING’s training programme.

Since 2020, BEING has been piloting a program to deliver Peer Educator facilitated training and mentorship for people living with mental health issues and/or psychosocial disabilities in NSW, as well as their families and carers, which we called the BEING Leadership Academy (BLA).

For the last 3 years BLA has successfully offered a range of consumer-led, co-designed courses and workshops that have provided participants a safe, recovery-focused learning environment to gain skills, knowledge, and build personal capacity.

As the pilot drew towards its conclusion, BEING has been conducting an independent evaluation of the program and the ways in which its value could be continued in a financially sustainable way into the future.

One strategy that has been identified is a ‘self-service’ e-learning hub. Consequently, we have been busy transferring our most successful and popular online learning content into an e-learning format, and later this month, BEING will start releasing a series of free and fee-for-service e-learning courses to the public.

BEING wants to thank all of those who have supported and participated in the BEING Leadership Academy over the last 3 years and we’re looking forward to exciting times ahead as we roll out the new e-Learning hub.
