    Background:

    lived experience of staff.

    Key Points to Consider:
    Be prepared to have what you share in the public
    domain.
    It should be things that you feel comfortable talking
    about and issues that you have made significant
    progress in addressing.
    It is better not to share your whole story, but think of
    relevant episodes or experiences
    Share specific examples or more general points
    about how you have experienced loss, change or
    disappointment.
    Think about what you do to stay well and how that
    can be difficult.
    Be aware of the impact, what you can say and how
    it might effect the other person.

    perception which in turn
