Beyond Checking the Box: Full Engagement Strategies for Improving Participation of Persons with Lived Experience
The Administration for Community Living’s (ACL) Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Technical Assistance and Resource Center’s (TARC) has a new resource - Beyond Checking the Box: Full Engagement Strategies for Improving Participation of Persons with Lived Experience - that is now available on the ACL website.
This resource highlights strategies for engaging participation of individuals with lived experience on state advisory boards/councils. The TBI TARC, with support from two members of the TBI Advisory Leadership Group (TAL-Group) (Kelly Lang and Martin Kerrigan), hosted meetings with state program managers and staff members and with individuals with lived experience from eight states (California, Colorado, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Dakota, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania) to discuss challenges for engagement of individuals with lived experience on advisory boards/councils. Based on the discussions, a set of strategies for full participation were developed which are discussed in the document.
Other TBI TARC developed resources are available on the ACL website.
