Through Putting People First, Health and Social Services has committed to meaningfully engage People with Lived Experience in the design, implementation, quality improvement and evaluation of health and social services programs. To support Yukoner’s participation in health system changes and improvement initiatives, the Experience and Engagement Team serves as the primary contact for People with Lived Experience and project staff seeking to engage. Our initiative includes building collaborative relationships with a diverse group of stakeholders to recruit, orient, support and mentor People with Lived Experience and Health and Social Services staff through engagement initiatives. Additionally, the Experience and Engagement Team aims to build a network of People with Lived Experience. This network would be comprised of People with Lived Experience who are interested in participating in more than one engagement initiative and who are interested in receiving regular updates and requests from the experience and engagement team.
