Co-reflection and external peer supervision

Co-reflection is a process informed by the IPS framework (the work of Shery Mead) involving the process of learning, practicing and reflecting together.

When properly implemented and practiced, this is a powerful way to increase our personal development, get out of unhelpful relational patterns and have more meaningful and intentional relationships

Working to Recovery

I have worked with Lisa for several years on leading edge mental health and addictions peer projects. She has been my trainer in Intentional Peer Support. She has also been a key part of the peer reference team for my organisation. Her breadth of knowledge, her clear sense of purpose, her vision of hope for people with lived experience and the changes she has brought to the mental health and addictions sector particularly in the lives of young people have been second to none.
