About the Lived Experience Advocacy Reflection Network (LEARN):

LEARN is a space for connection amongst people in South Australia who are interested in or new to using their personal lived experiences with mental health and other life challenges in advocacy for community and self.

When shared for a purpose our lived experience is a powerful tool that helps us connect with others and offer insight. Join us as we explore tools and strategies to use our experiences for change.

We collectively choose topics together at the start of each LEARN. 

Who is LEARN for:

LEARN provides a regular space for South Australian people with lived experience that are interested in or new to advocacy, to connect, reflect and explore ways of using their personal experiences with mental health and other life challenges in advocacy.

If you are interested in or are currently using your lived experience for advocacy and want to connect with others, share resources, refine skills and reflect together then LEARN is for you.

Please note that the focus for LEARN is creating a connection space for the lived experience community broadly. It is not a community of practice and does not focus on workforce. 

When and Where:

LEARN will meet online via Zoom every six weeks on a Tuesday.

In South Australia, rural and regional communities have been overlooked in discussions and responses covering mental health and suicide prevention.

That is why LELAN has partnered with Country SA PHN as part of the Commonwealth government’s Targeted Regional Initiatives for Suicide Prevention (TRISP).

Under this initiative, an Advisory Group of people who have lived experience of suicide distress have collaborated to create a short film about what we have heard from our communities.

It aims to reduce stigma, increase help seeking, and improve community responsiveness and advocacy by sharing insights and solutions from people who have lived experience of distress or who have been impacted by suicide in rural and regional South Australian communities.

We will be holding an online launch for our short film, to share it with the community.

The format of the event will include:

Introduction

Film Screening

Panel Q&A

This online launch will be held 5:15pm – 6:15pm Thursday 27 June online via Zoom.

If you RSVP to this event, you will be sent the Zoom link to join us.
