Our online community
These forums allow people with lived experience of distress and/or mental health issues (consumers and/or carers) and our allies to connect and contribute together. This is a place to come together and talk about what matters to us, provides an opportunity to inform our advocacy, peer and leadership efforts as well as share resources for driving systemic change.
We are the people who speak up and we stand up; or we are working out how to do that in ways that are good for us. We are the changemakers.
These forums are not focused on providing individual support. The SANE Forums provide a platform for seeking and providing support, asking questions and sharing stories. They have forums for people with lived experience as well as carers.
Hi everyone,
I would like to let you know about a research opportunity that is currently available.
Are you active in the lived experienced area, in any way, within your community including as an advocate, community speaker, representative, peer worker or other? We are conducting research that explores the leadership that people show in these positions and how it can be recognised and valued in the broader mental health area.
If you are interested in participating in one of our focus group discussions please click on this link. Further information can be found here.
