BEING CONNECTED is the new online community for BEING – Mental Health Consumers, the independent, NSW peak body speaking with and for people with lived/living experience of mental health issues and emotional distress and advocating for systemic change.

Access to BEING CONNECTED is restricted to BEING members, a key criteria for which is to have lived/living experience of mental health issues. We hope that by creating a safe and respectful place where consumers can share their experiences and recovery journeys, we can determine more accurately the priorities of NSW consumers and advocate more strongly to improve the mental health system.

If you're a mental health consumer in NSW, this is YOUR community so be part of it. Share your feedback and ideas to make it as valuable as it can be.

If you have lived or living experience of mental health issues, you are warmly invited to join and find a home in BEING CONNECTED.
