How can you become a SANE Peer Ambassador?
We’re proud to say that we currently have a full program of Peer Ambassadors. Unfortunately, this means we won’t be recruiting for the foreseeable future.
When expressions of interest open again, this will be announced in the SANE Express so make sure to sign up to be the first to know.
"An incredibly rewarding experience. An opportunity to share my experience and help to tackle the stigma around psychosis."
