Parents & Caregiver Voices: Why and How Did We Co-design an Advisory Cabinet?
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 explored how to create a Parent/Caregiver Advisory Cabinet that empowered parents and caregivers as active partners in decision-making. We learned strategies for building a diverse, inclusive, and effective advisory group and discovered how co-creating with families led to more responsive, equitable, and impactful initiatives. Together, we strengthened community connections, elevated voices that were often unheard, and ensured that policies reflected the real needs of children and families. We heard from parents about their experiences and messages for policymakers across the nation.
