Honouring lived and living experience at Lives Lived Well

At Lives Lived Well, people are at the heart of everything we do. Today we’re proud to share a new statement that reflects our ongoing commitment to recognising and honouring lived and living experience.

This statement acknowledges the individuals, families, friends and carers whose experiences, wisdom and advocacy continue to guide and strengthen our work. By listening, learning and working alongside people with lived experience, we are better placed to support our clients to live their life well.

Lives Lived Well recognises those with a significant lived and living experience of challenges related to mental health, substance use and suicidality. That includes both individuals with personal experiences as well as the family, friends and carers who have supported those who they love and/or have loved. Lived and living experience voices and perspectives are central to the work we do at Lives Lived Well. We thank those with lived and living experience whose expertise and insights help us as we support our clients to live their life well.

We’re committed to listening, learning and ensuring these voices remain central to how we deliver and improve our services.
