Medical research and commentary on the benefits of lived experience mental health support workers
Support workers with lived experience (peer workers) achieve health and recovery outcomes equivalent to or better than standard clinical care
Surveys consistently find that workers identifying with lived experience report higher job engagement and are less likely to want to change to non-mental health professions than their non-lived experience peers.
They excel at facilitating rapport and relationship safety because clients feel more comfortable discussing issues with someone who shares a similar background.
We believe lived experience provides the best foundation for being a brilliant support worker. Complimented with a heart of gold nature and tailored professional training.
