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.
