Event description

About the Lived Experience Advocacy Reflection Network (LEARN):

LEARN is a space for connection amongst people in South Australia who are interested in or new to using their personal lived experiences with mental health and other life challenges in advocacy for community and self.

When shared for a purpose our lived experience is a powerful tool that helps us connect with others and offer insight.
Join us as we explore tools and strategies to use our experiences for change.

Who is LEARN for:

LEARN provides a regular space for South Australian people with lived experience that are interested in or new to advocacy, to connect, reflect and explore ways of using their personal experiences with mental health and other life challenges in advocacy.

If you are interested in or are currently using your lived experience in advocacy and want to connect with others, share resources, refine skills and reflect together then LEARN is for you.

Please note that the focus for LEARN is creating a connection space for the lived experience community. It is not a community of practice and does not focus on workforce.

When and Where:

LEARN will meet online via Zoom every six weeks on a Tuesday.

Facilitator:

The facilitator for this LEARN will be Emrys Temple-Heald (He/Him), Peer Training Coordinator.

LELAN is the independent peak body in South Australia by, for and with people with lived experience of mental distress, social issues or injustice. Our purpose is to amplify the voice, influence and leadership of people with lived experience to drive systemic change. LELAN has led philanthropic, state and federally funded projects as well as completed commissioned and fee-for-service pieces of work.

By centering the experiences, collective insights and solution ideas of people with lived experience in all of our work, as well as being immersed in the lived experience community from grassroots to strategic levels, LELAN demonstrates the principles, practices and change dynamics that the social sector is calling for and desperately needs. Because of our strong and trusted relationships with people in the lived experience community we are able to have deeper conversations about things that matter, drawing our collective experiences and action together in purposeful ways.

LELAN has extensive experience and a proven methodology for leading lived experience-led and/or co-creation initiatives, frequently with a focus on sensitive issues and including groups that bring divergent perspectives to the conversation.

The organisation has three areas of focus:

Developing the capability and influence of people with lived experience.
Nurturing organisational and sector capacity for partnering with people with lived experience.
Impacting system improvement agendas to benefit people with lived experience.

Key published pieces of work by LELAN, including those completed in partnership, can be accessed via our shared resources page. This includes the pivotal Model of Lived Experience Leadership and Roadmap for Strengthening Lived Experience Leadership for Transformative Systems Change in South Australia, as well as the Lived Experience Governance Framework and
Lived Experience Governance Toolkit launched in mid-2023.
