Introduction to the Alliance | Consumer-Led Conversations
Multicultural Affinity Group (supported by National Mental Health Consumer Alliance)
Affinity Group (members include Niharika Hiremath, Bibiana Chan, Estela Fuentes, Iman Mohamud, Liu, Mel, Michael Elwan, Estela Fuentes, Naseema Mustapha, Sachi Hirayama) will present on the Affinity Groups formation, their role in the mental health space and on their chosen project: Principles for systems working with multicultural mental health consumers.
National Disability Insurance Scheme Affinity Group (supported by Mental Health Lived Experience Peak Queensland)
The Psychosocial Affinity Group (PAG) imagines a world where consumers can have their needs met, are supported in ways that are rights-affirming and identity-specific, are connected within and embraced by community, and psychosocial services outside of the mainstream mental health system are, flexible, relational, appropriate, prioritise connection, facilitate community, available, and accessible. The work of the PAG aligns with MHLEPQ's role supporting Queensland's Psychosocial Peak Body and aims to complement and amplify work happening nationally in the psychosocial space.
