Enrich your services, projects and advocacy with Laurel House’s lived experience advocates. The program connects organisations with victim-survivor advocates to help shape safer, more inclusive services, policies and initiatives through consultation, co-design, training and advocacy.
Would your organisation benefit from working with a lived experience advocate?
Laurel House’s Lived Experience Engagement Program (LEEP) supports victim-survivors of sexual violence and child sexual abuse from diverse backgrounds to use their lived experience expertise to drive meaningful change.
Laurel House lived experience advocates work are available statewide to consult, collaborate and lead in partnership with not-for-profit organisations, peak bodies, private businesses and government.
Practical examples of lived experience advocacy include:
- Participating in advisory committees, working groups and co-design processes;
- Contributing to government consultations, inquiries and submissions;
- Engaging in public education campaigns and advocacy initiatives;
- Co-facilitating or leading workshops, training or education sessions;
- Consulting on ways to improve new or existing services, programs or initiatives;
- Sitting on interview panels; and
- Much more!
When you involve lived experience advocates, your organisation’s projects, services and initiatives are safer and more relevant for victim-survivors.
