What is “Lived Expertise”?

Lived Expertise is a person’s experience of mental health and the journey of recovery. It recognizes the unique insights, awareness and opportunities lived experience provides and differentiates between the lived experiences that all people have and those uniquely informed by life-altering mental health challenges.

Services We Offer

At Robyn Priest LIVE YOUR TRUTH (RPLYT), we believe that every single person can recover. We also believe in the power of lived expertise and peer support and their role in a person’s mental health story. This is why all our training and workshops are created with that in mind. Always through the lens of lived expertise, either as an individual or a family member.

The RPLYT training and workshops are used across the world in corporations and healthcare organizations and are the go-to training for anyone who wants to broaden their knowledge in supporting themselves while supporting others.

"We had also worked with Robyn in the past when she was part of an evaluation team of our new caregiver peer support groups and helped with some work on our facilitator manual. She is professional and makes everyone feel open and very comfortable. I highly recommend RPLYT!"
