Leading Lived Experience Workforce: Training for Line Managers of NGO Mental Health Lived Experience/Peer Workforce
The aim is to equip line managers with knowledge and tools that can support them to better understand Lived Experience work and effectively recruit and lead designated roles. The training is a safe space for leaders to learn, share ideas and ask questions about Lived Experience workforce. We look at:
- The underpinning foundations, values and principles guiding ethical Lived
Experience/Peer practice - Lived Experience as a skill set, application to designated roles and how this differs to
being in other roles and having lived experience - Tips for recruitment
- Line Management and Lived Experience practice support
- Addressing the ‘elephants in the room’
- Sharing ideas and developing strategies for implementing best practice, developing Lived Experience workforce and embedding the role
The information presented along with opportunity for open, non-judgemental participation supports managers in a number of ways, including:
- Increasing confidence in leading and line managing Lived Experience/Peer workforce
- Promoting a more effective Lived Experience worker/leader working relationship
- Providing connections across programs and organisations
- Supporting organisations to be part of the development of a sustainable, skilled and qualified Lived Experience workforce within SA
