Development of Peer Support and Lived Experience Workforce

This idea would include:

• Flexible work hours to accommodate varying needs of lived experience people.
• Active recruiting in NGOs 
• Relevant/More Specific qualifications with additional student financial support
• Greater ability to work from home
• Potential expansion of EAP support services to support this new workforce in relation to job stressors
• Training on how to draw from your own experience to support others - either workshops, qualification, or online go-at-your-own-pace.
• Mentoring systems in place from existing staff to support new staff.
• Active promotion of the value in this sector of the health workforce to the wider organisation

Those who have lived it, can help others currently experiencing it.
