People with lived experience of mental health challenges, and their carers, are invited to share their insights and help shape mental health services across the Illawarra Shoalhaven.
The Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District (ISLHD) is inviting expressions of interest from people with lived experience of mental health issues, and their carers, to help inform the planning, delivery and evaluation of local mental health services.
There are two ways to get involved: join the Mental Health Peer and Carer Advisory Group and/or express interest in joining the Peer and Carer Advisor Register.
Peer and Carer Advisors bring valuable personal perspectives and insights that can help inform service improvements and ensure the voices of people who use mental health services, and those who support them, are heard.
They contribute to committees, reviews of policies and procedures, service planning, quality improvement and the design of services.
By sharing their experiences, Peer and Carer Advisors can contribute to the ongoing development of mental health services that better reflect the needs and priorities of the local community.
People interested in getting involved can find out more about the opportunities and how to express their interest here.
