Brook RED is a lived and living experience–led organisation, shaped by our own experiences of mental health challenges, suicidal distress, and the systems built to respond to them.
We deliver lived experience governed, managed, and run supports, and we work alongside communities and partners to explore what ethical, meaningful, and effective practice looks like in real-world contexts. Our work is grounded in relationships, diversity, and a belief in possibility – even when change is complex, uncomfortable, or slow.
At Brook RED, lived experience is not something we “add in” to projects. It is the lens through which we design, deliver, and evaluate everything we do. We approach our work with curiosity, honesty, and care, holding both the social and political realities that shape mental health and the responsibility that comes with working within systems.
Through this project, Brook RED brings a commitment to co-design, shared responsibility, and ethical practice that is accountable to lived experience communities first.
