Parents and caregivers are experts on their child yet their voices are often missing when decisions impacting their family are made. In this session, we will explore how to create a Parent/Caregiver Advisory Cabinet that empowers parents and caregivers as active partners in decision-making. Learn strategies for building a diverse, inclusive, and effective advisory group, and discover how co-creating with families can lead to more responsive, equitable, and impactful initiatives. Together, we can strengthen community connections, elevate voices that are often unheard, and ensure that policies reflect the real needs of children and families. Hear from parents about their experience and messages for policymakers across the nation.
