Lived Experience
The Influence of Lived Experience in Designing Our Adult Wellbeing Service
At the Foundation For Good, we acknowledge the profound impact of lived experience in shaping and enhancing our services for adult wellbeing. We firmly believe that those who have walked through life's trials and tribulations are not only resilient but possess invaluable insights that can transform our approach to supporting others.
​
Our commitment to empowering individuals to move towards happiness and success from past challenges is deeply rooted in the principle that the best mentors are often those who have themselves journeyed through adversity. Here's how we've harnessed the power of lived experience in crafting our service:
​
Empathetic Understanding: Our team includes individuals who have faced their own share of life's setbacks, and they understand the unique challenges and emotions that come with these experiences. This empathetic understanding enables us to connect with our beneficiaries on a deeper level, fostering a sense of trust and camaraderie.
​
Real-World Solutions: Lived experience often leads to innovative solutions born out of necessity. Our team members who have successfully navigated their own life's hardships bring their resourcefulness to the table, offering practical advice and solutions that have worked for them and can work for you.
​
Inspiration and Hope: Witnessing someone who has triumphed over adversity can be a powerful source of inspiration. Our staff serves as living proof that happiness and success are attainable, even after experiencing downfalls. They offer hope, demonstrating that a brighter future is within reach.
​
Non-Judgmental Support: We understand that life can throw curveballs at anyone. Our team's experiences have taught them the importance of non-judgmental support. We're here to provide a safe and welcoming environment where you can share your challenges without fear of condemnation.
​
Tailored Guidance: Our service isn't one-size-fits-all. Drawing from their own journeys, our team members offer personalised guidance and strategies that align with your unique circumstances, helping you chart a path towards happiness and success.
​
At the Foundation For Good, we believe in the transformative power of lived experience. We're proud to have individuals on our team who have risen above their own downfalls and now dedicate themselves to empowering others. Together, we're shaping a brighter, more resilient future for all adults in need of support on their journey to wellbeing and success.
