Annotation

People with lived experience (PWLE) are regarded as "experts by experience" in the scope of their first-hand experience.1 PWLE have lived (or are currently living) with issues the community is focusing on and who can offer insight about the system as it is experienced by others.

Understanding of what works to address the issue based on their personal insight, what does not work, and what resources (formal or informal) are available.

Learning Objectives

• Define people with lived experience

• Discuss shared understanding and organizational experiences related to people with lived experience

•Explore current and historical culture of the community, and challenge MCH professionals to discover diversity by understanding intersectionality
