Training

Many of us encounter mental health challenges in our lives. Despite this people are often apprehensive, or even freaked out by the whole mental health ‘thing’. Through promoting knowledge and understanding of mental health struggles we seek to enable everyone in our community to increase their understanding and offer companionship and support to one another.

After completing our trainings we hope you will join with us to debunk myths, promote equality and rid our society of the stigma which is too often associated with mental health issues.

LLE Supervision

Mental health family/carer lived and living experience work provides real rewards, but it can be tough. Discipline specific supervision provides the space to reflect, consider and develop as a lived experience professional.

Proved by experience

Over the course of around 6 months, my time with Andrew was my steady reference point. He created a safe, encouraging space where I could relax and reflect on important issues without judgement or direction. As a professional support he created an opportunity to see events from several angles without the organisational influence of an insider, and this ensured I acted with sound judgement in my own best interest. He was also able to sincerely empathise with the challenges faced by Lived Experience carer workers, like me, within the public health system, and he supported my efforts at keeping the carer focus visible in my public mental health setting despite strong adverse organisational pressure. I feel fortunate to have had Andrew journey with me during some very tough times indeed.

Andrew has a a great depth of knowledge, wisdom and intelligence in a professional capacity, but brings a very authentic ‘humanness‘ to his supervision sessions which very much aligned with me.

Who doesn’t want that?
