National PHN MHLEEN Stocktake Survey 2022
The National PHN Mental Health Lived Experience Network (MHLEEN) commenced in 2018 and aims to:
Embed Lived Experience Engagement in the co-design and commissioning undertaken by PHNs
Support better outcomes in mental health by promoting and supporting the employment of peer workers and promoting this workforce
Maintain a National Network of PHNs and other key stakeholders to support, coordinate and collaborate on continuous improvement of person centred, recovery focused planning, implementation and review of primary mental health care in Australia.
In October 2018, MHLEEN undertook a Stocktake of PHNs engagement activities. In 2020 and 2021, the Stocktake was repeated and compared to the 2018 data to assess the extent of improvements in engagement and Lived Experience Workforce development. These surveys have provided important data and information for PHNs themselves but also other key stakeholders that PHNs work with. It is also an opportunity to promote and share learnings.
MHLEEN appreciates the continuing impact of COVID-19 and PHNs being at different levels of engagement and capacity to undertake engagement and promote the Lived Experience Workforce.
For benchmarking purposes, the same questions that were used in the 2018, 2020 and 2021 Stocktake will be asked again in 2022. A Working Group of MHLEEN has reviewed the original questions list and made revisions where appropriate to ensure meaningful data is collected.
Please note that to complete this survey you will need to collect data from other areas of your PHN and commissioned service providers. It is recommended to browse through the suite of questions before beginning the survey. This survey will take approximately 30-40 minutes to complete once all data has been collected.
