Education. Opportunities. Pathways.

BEING Leadership Academy offers a range of short courses and workshops developed to enhance knowledge, build skills and to open educational pathways for people living with mental health issues in Australia. 

BEING Leadership Academy offers a range of non-accredited short courses and workshops designed to enhance knowledge, build skills and open educational pathways for people living with mental health issues in Australia.

The BEING Leadership Academy focuses on delivering non-accredited training opportunities that are designed and delivered by people with lived experience of mental health issues.

BEING Leadership Academy aims to engage with consumers of the mental health system to share knowledge and foster positive connections within our diverse community.

BEING Leadership Academy consults with consumers, carers and lived experience professionals to ensure all courses uphold the principles of recovery, take a trauma informed approach and are informed by the lived experiences of those with mental health issues.

BEING Leadership Academy has three training programs– Speak Up (introductory), Peer Up (intermediate) and Lead Up (advanced). All courses are delivered online by experienced and skilled Peer Educators.

Please note Lead Up courses are currently closed for 2023.
