Launch of With Us, For Us report and resources!
With Us, For Us provides an opportunity for people living with trauma and/or who have been given a diagnosis of personality disorder to share their experiences of services and their ideas for improvement.
Healthcare Improvement Scotland commissioned Scottish Recovery Network and VOX Scotland to support the work of the Personality Disorder Improvement Programme by engaging with people with lived experience to inform the final programme recommendations.
Decisions about services should be made With Us, since these services are For Us and our recovery.

Putting people at the heart of mental health support
A Lived Experience Project Group (LEPG) was brought together to ensure people’s experiences were at the heart of this project. We were keen to provide opportunities for lived experience involvement that was not limited to the engagement aspect of the project, but embedded from the beginning to end.
We have developed the following resources with the (LEPG) to help you put lived experience front and centre at your service or organisation.
- on integrating the role of lived experience as a key driver for projects
- for organisations and services supporting people living with trauma and/or personality disorder
- Storytelling through Photography and Artwork booklet
