Why are peer led services central to the current reforms aimed at improving consumers’ experience of mental health services?
In this five-part series, learn about the mental health service system through the respective - and at times contrasting – lenses of clinician and lived experience experts; psychiatrist and Deputy Chief Medical Officer for Mental Health, Dr Ruth Vine; and Victoria’s inaugural Executive Director of Lived Experience, Mary O’Hagan.
At a pivotal time of reform - underpinned by a heightened awareness of the need to include the lived experience perspective into mental health service provision - Ruth and Mary sit down to discuss peer led services; including how, while staying true to their intent and values, they can be incorporated within current clinical models. Their conversation explores the challenges facing both clinical and peer workers to work effectively - independently and together; and identifies where their respective clinical and lived experience point of views differ.
