A supportive and welcoming group shaping the future of mental health care.
Our Mental Health Reference Group is made up of passionate individuals who play a vital role in guiding how mental health services are delivered at Sonder and beyond.
Drawing on lived experience, the group helps ensure services are respectful, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of people accessing care, as well as their families, friends, and carers.
Group members live in Adelaide’s northern and western suburbs to represent the local communities we support.
