Lived experience employment survey

 

 The LEP research team invite you to take part in a short survey gathering information on lived experience employment.  Their aim is to survey anyone who incorporates lived experience of a personality disorder diagnosis into their role, including but not limited to:

  • Volunteer peer support workers
  • KUF trainers
  • Mental health or social care commissioners or strategists
  • Generic mental health settings (e.g. peer support workers who might be based in a CMHT or CRHT)
  • Registered professionals (e.g. clinical psychologists, nurses, occupational therapists) who also have a lived experience of receiving a personality disorder diagnosis

The aim of the study is to explore the experience of undertaking such roles, mapping perceptions of helpful and hindering features within work/volunteering environments. The survey should take less than ten minutes of your time. The closing date for the survey is midnight on the 2nd March 2018
