From Recognition to Realisation: An evidence-based model for equitable compensation of Lived Experience expertise in Global Mental HealthThe Global Mental Health Peer Network (GMHPN), in collaboration with Global Health Economists, and supported by Kokoro and Vitol Foundation, are in the process of developing a sophisticated, evidence-based costing model to support equitable remuneration for lived experience expertise provided to a range of global stakeholders and sectors with interests in the area of mental health. This model will seek to account for diverse contexts and the complexity of expertise required in relation to the authentic involvement of experts by experience in mental health.

Addressing the problem
Global acknowledgement for the experiential value of people with lived experience has been established, however the problem remains to translate this experiential value into monetary value. If the experiential value is not met with adoption of equitable remuneration practices, the recognition of the core value of participation is arguably no value at all.
We appreciate all global stakeholders who are truly making efforts to compensate the work and expertise of experts by experience, despite the challenges stemming from policies and practices that have not yet fully adapted to the concept of integrating this unique expertise formally.
To the best of our knowledge, no guidance exist that provides an evidence-based structure for the compensation and remuneration of the impact and value of lived experience expertise in mental health policy, research and practice. This means that global stakeholders have little guidance as to how to incorporate the involvement of lived experience engagement and consultation that is fairly remunerated into their initiatives and projects.
