As a Lived Experience Advisor/Consultant, Trish has personal lived/living experiences of disadvantage including but not limited to housing insecurity and mental ill health including alcohol and other drug issues. She holds a passion to use these experiences and my intersecting privileges (she is a white, educated, able bodied, cis-gendered woman) to support organisations to form a bridge between people with lived/living experiences and the organisations and community that support them.
She has worked in a variety of Lived Experience roles across mental health, alcohol and other drug, homelessness and community housing sectors, bringing a Lived Experience Expertise to support organisations to realise their goals and objectives.
