Mental Health Lived Experience

We support people who have a lived experience of using mental health services to influence decision makers.

We believe that people who have experienced mental health services are well placed to inform decision makers about what worked well or what worked less well for them. By sharing this feedback, commissioners and other people planning services have better information to develop and improved what they do.

We have set up mental health service user groups (called The Mental Health Lived Experience Advisory Groups) which meet regularly to gather people’s views.

The meetings provide a valuable means by which service users can influence decisions.

We have a group in Brighton and Hove and a group in East Sussex.
