Mental Health Lived Experience Lead

Nyree brings over 10 years’ experience in lived experience advocacy and community engagement, research, implementation and clinical practice across the mental health and suicide prevention sector. 

In a leading lived experience role with the Black Dog Institute, she and her team created cultural change by developing and implementing policies and practices to elevate the involvement and partnership with people with a lived experience in setting research and policy priorities, study design and information dissemination.
