Peer Researchers & Lived Experience Advisors

We partner with researchers, organizations, and individuals to integrate lived experience into mental health and psychosocial research and program design.

 

Peer Researchers are individuals with lived experience who contribute directly to research processes, including design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation. They ensure that research is grounded in real-life understanding and conducted with communities, not about them.

 

Lived Experience Advisors provide expert input into research protocols, program design, and implementation frameworks. They help ensure that policies, programs, and services reflect the real needs and experiences of people with lived experience.

 

Through these partnerships, PDRO strengthens ethical, inclusive, and participatory approaches to knowledge creation, recognizing lived experience as a vital form of expertise in shaping research, policy, and practice
