Lived experience is everything when it comes to making systemic change in our mental health system.

[National Mental Health Commission @NMHC]

System reform can only be achieved through an understanding of experiences of those with lived & living experience, & those who care for them. We’ve collected stories provided through an experience-informed lens, to reflect on 10yrs of reform & its impact👉https://t.co/y5bHNNIhBw
