EXPERTS BY EXPERIENCE
At the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Wellbeing and Recovery College we believe that we are all stronger by working TOGETHER.
Experts by Experience tell us they are “People who have personal lived experience of using health, mental health and/or social care services, or of caring for someone who uses those services… someone who has been there, walked in shoes similar to yours, understand how you are feeling and the challenges you may be facing. They have their own relateable story and therefore offer respect, compassion with no judgement.”
