Eastern Health and the DDCCAC Presents: The Peer Effect Forum

Are you interested in making your lived experience of mental health illness and/or substance use count?

Are you interested in hearing about how others have found opportunities to use their lived experience?

Would you like to meet local service providers who employ peer workers, consultants and advisors?

Eastern Health and the Dual Diagnosis Consumer Carer Advisory Council are hosting the annual Peer Effect Forum. The Forum focuses on peer work and peer workers in the Eastern Region of Melbourne and provides information to people with lived experience of mental ill health and /or substance use issues about how they can use that experience to make a difference for others in their recovery.

Our planned focus for the forum this year is to explore areas where there is broad dual lived experience including:

• Dual Diagnosis
• People with both consumer and carer lived experience
• FaPMI (Families where a Parent has a Mental Illness)
• Dual Diagnosis
  

And further explore:

• The future of the Peer Workforce
• Intentional Peer Support
• NDIS – peer workers opportunities and complexities
• FaPMI – peer work opportunities
• Self-care for peer workers
• And more

Morning tea and lunch will be provided.
