Who haPPIE Academy is for
haPPIE Academy is open to people from many walks of life.
You might be someone with lived experience of maternity, mental health, or healthcare systems. You might be a student looking for a placement that aligns with your values. You might work within the NHS or alongside communities and want to do things better.
You might simply care deeply about fairness, access, and dignity.
You do not need to have the right words or the right background. You just need to come with honesty, respect, and a willingness to learn together.
Being part of the haPPIE Academy family
When you join haPPIE Academy, you are not joining a mailing list.
You are joining a community.
We are clear about expectations, boundaries, and support because care runs through everything we do. You will never be asked to give more than is safe or appropriate, and you will always know why your contribution matters.

We walk alongside our members, not ahead of them.
We listen, reflect, and learn together.
