Great to hear from @MadeByMortals yesterday on the value of #livedexperience "Don't count people as data, or just for their lived experience, but include them as participants in research"

Lived experience is a unique, person-centred knowledge, insight and expertise.
It brings important and often overlooked perspectives to the field of mental health.
But involving lived experience in research is more than good practice – it’s essential. ⤵️

ALT Grace Gatera and Shuranjeet Singh, Lived Experience Consultants at Wellcome, say: "Lived experience expertise improves research."
