Tyra Goodwin - Lived Experience Consultant

As Lived Experience Consultant, Tyra supports CWVA’s Local Voices Framework and leads on a small project as part of the Mental Health Alliance, providing training for all Alliance members and offering consultancy support to further develop their lived experience communities.

She is passionate about championing people with lived experience and making sure they are recognised and valued not only for their knowledge, skills and experiences, but also to be involved more in decision making and shaping services that directly impact them and their communities.

She enjoys travelling, music (an indie rock fan!), binge-watching a good drama series and spending time with family and friends.

Tyra is also a founding member of a local community group, Thrive to Survive, where she loves to meet new people, finds it really rewarding to be able to help others and make a difference.
