The aim of this Library is to gather a wealth of useful resources about all aspects of lived experience leadership.
Consumers, people with lived experience and peers can get involved in many opportunities for peer participation, training and education, or contribute to improving services in the community by joining groups, being representatives on committees, or through personal advocacy such as storytelling.
