This workshop will guide attendees through best practices to engage people with lived experience throughout different stages of designing projects, whether planning proposals, facilities, pre-design, workforce inclusion, operations, and so much more.The audience will leave with tools to set the stage and hand the mic to people with lived experiences to amplify their voice at the table. Learn how to establish project language, create and use instruments for feedback, encourage the opportunity for expanding one’s voice, and support the shift of mental health in design throughout all project stages.
