lived experience
in practice
Workshops that strengthen inclusive practice through lived experience and trauma-informed leadership - we support organisations to move beyond tokenism and build safe, effective cultures where lived experience roles can really succeed.
Outcomes that matter at relational and strategic levels:
Many organisations want to improve practice around lived experience roles and inclusion but lack the frameworks to do so safely.
These workshops are delivered in partnership with Uli Cartwright, combining our expertise and experience, creating space for conversations that matter.
We combine personal insight with practical experience to challenge barriers and drive meaningful change. Through exploring how trauma and chronic stress shape workplace dynamics, we identify what must change to support meaningful inclusion and supercharge collaboration.
These tools and strategies benefit everyone, not just those with lived experience of trauma or people experiencing chronic stress.

who are these workshops for?
We work with mental health and disability services, community and youth services and organisations employing people in specific lived experience roles.
We help facilitate challenging conversations about what it really means to integrate lived experience in your leadership, systems, structures and teams - let's go beyond the well-intentioned policy position and explore what can we do to make it feel - and be - real to those with lived experience, whether that's your team or customer.
Our approach is equally relevant for organisations new to this work or those already on their journey to improve psychosocial safety and experience for those with lived experience and the teams around them.

Making a real shift in how lived-experience is navigated in your organisation, and introducing a trauma-informed leadership approach is not about completing a checklist.
We work with you to build change capabilities designed around your actual context.
