A Lived Experience Worker is someone who is employed in a role that requires them to have lived experience of mental distress and recovery, either personally or as a family member/friend of someone who has.
They must be able to effectively apply this knowledge in practice within the context of their role, as well as within the values and principles and other frameworks that guide peer work practice.
