How can we meaningfully engage structurally-vulnerable individuals
and communities in health and social service change when we are not
able to meet in-person? Join us for a discussion about the challenges
and opportunities of co-design and co-production in the new
COVID-19 era.

Our guest speaker will join us from Scotland: Louise Christie is the
acting Director of the Scottish Recovery Network, a unique non-profit
initiative that was established in 2004 to promote and support mental
health recovery in Scotland and beyond. She will discuss their “Making
Recovery Real” initiative which involves partnership development to
support local agencies, organisations, and people with lived experience
to work together to identify ways to support mental health recovery
and how to put this into action. COVID-19 brought new challenges,
not only to mental health, but also to traditional forms of engagement
and co-production that were core to the work of the Recovery
Network. Ms. Christie will share some of the innovations that they
have put in place (eg. online conversation cafés), and the opportunities
and challenges that they have faced along the way.

This session is also an opportunity to share experiences and ideas
related to co-design in this new COVID-19 era, particularly with
populations who may experience barriers to engagement. Bring your
questions and insights!
