Just wanted to pop on to offer @melanieanneball a huge welcome to @mpftnhs Now lets go create some magic as the perfectly imperfect humans we are 💜✌🏼
Twitter has been a place of awfulness and also so much support this last week or so. I think for me it’s time to take a little break to recharge. To all my #livedexperience peeps past and present, you’re amazing and you know where I am! #inittogether ✌🏼

Letter from me to The Times emphasising the importance of #LivedExperience in mental healthcare following the recent outrage from people outside our field.

I'm proud to use my lived experience every day to try better our peers experience of the NHS/role model a unique sense of recovery.
The comments in the press this week have shown me we still have a long way to go to break the stigma.

Everything about this 💜
It was incredible seeing the amazing lived experience director post being advertised by @mpftnhs and equally as infuriating seeing the denigration of the role over the last few days by politicians, media outlets, and other health professionals.
I've seen horror at the thought

I work using my lived experience of accessing numerous NHS mental health services. Laying myself bare often to see less of what greatly harmed me and more of what helped me. I refuse to let the words of poorly researched articles prevent me from continuing this work.

The writers of the headlines do not understand Lived Experience & have not even tried. They do not know what it takes, to openly name yourself as Lived Experience. They do not know what we have experienced or the courage, vulnerability, strength, determination & fight we have 🔥

@DrAbdullahMia @melanieanneball don’t let this I’ll informed, cheap jibe at these valuable LX roles hurt you. It’s a jab at the NHS in reality but we march on and are bigger and better than this. These colleagues are part of modernisation and the future and here to stay!
This is so infuriating and saddening, I'm sorry @melanieanneball is caught in this.
Why is it such a threat to have a valued LXP role? Amongst the rhetoric of fairer systems, patient focus and ensuring balance in approaches, whose envy and fear is destroying this?!

Honestly after Panorama/Dispatches/Manchester/TEWV scandals in the last eight weeks the Lived Experience community needs these attacks not only on social media but from the telegraph, the times and the daily mail like a hole in the head.

It’s amazing seeing other people already recruited into #LivedExperience paid roles showing support to @mpftnhs now for being so forward thinking and once the #LXD is appointed our support will be there too 💯 #Tribe ✊🏽exciting stuff dampens the negativity in press 🤩@DanniCook5
Thank you for the support @ClaireCNWL We at @mpft are extremely proud of the work we’ve been doing and even more grateful for the work of generations of survivors ✌🏼
The @TheTelegraph__ article on lived experience roles was misleading and offensive. @melanieanneball we know the evidence for more staff, working differently, creating safer therapeutic services, changing culture and practice and growing and transforming MH workforce. Thank you.

I know amongst @mpftnhs staff,and governor members..a few have lived experienced of mh issues
However,some are hesitant in openly speaking about it
Hopefully new Lived Experience Director Role will help their @mpftnhs colleagues towards
