Resumo

Empregar suporte de pares nos serviços de saúde mental está se tornando cada vez mais comum. No entanto, empregar pessoas com experiência de vida em outras funções mais específico é mais raro. Mudar  a cultura  nos serviços para obter melhores resultados tem sido trasnformador.Neste sentido, o recrutamento de pessoas com experiência de vida tem proporcionada mudanças importantes e positivas nas organizações. A Flourish Australia é uma organização administrada pela comunidade especializada em apoio à saúde mental para pessoas com sofrimento psíquico e com deficiência psicossocial. A liderança corajosa e visionária da Flourish Australia usou a ação afirmativa para recrutar pessoas com experiência vivida em todos os níveis da organização. Esta tem sido uma experiência bem-sucedida de garantir que a co-liderança, o co-design e a coprodução de serviços de saúde mental sejam um foco organizacional. Os resultados identificados são enriquecidos pela experiência vivida, incorporada na esperança e nos direitos humanos, em recovery e no bem-estar de cada indivíduo que acessa o serviço. O respeito prestado dà voz a experiência vivida em todos os níveis da organização garantindo reformas significativas, permitindo que ideias visionárias e inovadoras criem raízes e cresçam. A co-liderança de pessoas com experiência vivida em todos os níveis de serviços de saúde mental e bem-estar para a comunidade aponta um caminho para o futuro. A Flourish Australia abraçou essa ideia valorizando a experiência vivida. Este artigo demonstra como a co-liderança transforma pensamentos, vidas, serviços e comunidades em nível individual e coletivo  rompendo com tiranias e baixas expectativas de pessoas com experiência vivida ao responder às esperanças e necessidades destas pessoas.
