What Does Lived Experience Really Mean and Why Is It Important?

Annotation

The phrase "lived experience" is widely used in behavioral health, but what does it really mean? Is lived-experience a code word meaning “former mental patient”? Isn’t all experience, “lived experience” and therefore isn’t “lived experience” redundant? Can a clinician have lived experience? In this webinar, Pat Deegan will explore the origins of “lived experience” in philosophy and its migration into behavioral health. She will argue that lived experience introduces a new way of knowing that can complement, and at times disrupt, the clinical world view. The Northwest Mental Health Technology Transfer Center is committed to ensuring digital accessibility. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.
