Cherene Caraco often says “Help isn’t help if it isn’t helpful.” The Pathways Learning Network convened on November 30 to learn how to meaningfully engage trauma survivors and develop policies that support them at the state and local levels.
Cherene Caraco, Executive Director of the Promise Resource Network, and William Kellibrew, an international advocate for trauma survivors, each experienced traumatic life events as children that changed the trajectory of their lives and helped inform careers dedicated to helping others heal. Both Cherene and William now work with policymakers and trauma survivors to develop networks of support and advocate for trauma-responsive policies across sectors and systems. In this session, participants learned about concrete and actionable strategies to effectively involve people with lived experience in policymaking and program implementation.
To learn more about these strategies, please see the Tip Sheet, “Nothing About Us, Without Us”: Tips for Involving People with Lived Experience in Policymaking and Program Design, and find strategic guidance from the session on our blog.
