As our team has downsized to 5 staff heading into 2026, with many of us part time, we are having our only LEARN session for the year on Tuesday, 27th January 10-11.30am ACDT.

If we can find capacity within our team we may be able to host something different less frequently – but want to make sure if we do that it is aligned with what the community wants.
Please see the below questions that we will be a topic during the LEARN session. Alternatively if you cannot attend the session on the 27th you can email your answers to emrys@lelan.org.au

What does it look like when you imagine the ideal way to connect, network or learn from the broader lived experience community?
When attending an event like you just described, what would be the most important purposes of it?

(for example it may be most important for you to meet new people and make networking connections, or it may me most important that the event is accessible online and that you can learn skills from it)

How frequently, formally, or informally does this connection look like in an ideal world?

(For example formal can be structured topics/activities and the event is led by a facilitator, informal can include short speaker presentation with mostly free time for attendees to connect however they choose)

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.

We collectively choose topics together at the start of each LEARN.

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 for 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 broadly. It is not a community of practice and does not focus on workforce.

When and Where:

Via Zoom

Tue, 27 Jan, 10am - 11:30am ACDT

Facilitator:

The facilitator for LEARN is Emrys Temple-Heald, Peer Training Coordinator
