Abstract
In 2019 the SA Lived Experience Leadership Advocacy Network (LELAN) and UniSA’s Mental Health and SuicidePrevention Research and Education Group (MHSPRE) were successful in gaining two years of funding from the FayFuller Foundation to establish the Activating Lived Experience Leadership (ALEL) project. The ALEL project wasdesigned as a participatory action research (PAR) and community development project, bringing people together toimprove the way that lived experience leadership is defined, recognised and utilised at the systems level.This Consensus Statement is the result of working with mental health, social sector and lived experience leaders todetermine actions we can all take to embed, and leverage lived experience across South Australia.For more information, resources and background reports visit the project page at www.lelan.org.au/alel
