What is Lived Experience Peer Support?
Wellness Coaches who practise Lived Experience Peer Support draw from their own lived experiences to empower and uplift others. This approach combines cutting-edge mental health and wellbeing insights and innovation with the fundamental values of respect, empathy, and compassionate listening. Lived Experience Peer Support practitioners provide their clients with a different, less hierarchical viewpoint from that of other professionals, forming an essential part of truly personalised, holistic and effective care and service.
