Section 7. Engaging People Most Affected by the Problem

Tool 1: Engaging People with Lived Experience Toolkit

The Engaging People with Lived Experience Toolkit was created by the People with Lived Experience Workgroup and Community Champions from the 100 Million Healthier Lives initiative. This resource helps organizations work closely with people who have direct experience with important community issues. It offers practical ways to encourage collaboration, focusing on inclusive leadership, co-design, and mutual support. The toolkit guides organizations through six main steps, helping them value different perspectives and build strong teams that can create lasting change.
