Annotation

A diversity of voices is essential for equitable healthcare and a just pandemic response. Yet, the voices of people with lived experience have often been missing from the conversation. This includes those with disabilities, individuals with mental health or addiction issues, or people experiencing systemic oppression and exclusion, who have experienced increased risks of harm and found it harder to access needed supports from healthcare services.

This webinar raises the voices of people with lived experience to help those working in the sector understand key considerations to mitigate barriers to care and inform more equitable pandemic planning.

Learning Objectives

• Describe barriers exacerbated by the pandemic.

• Characterize approaches to ensure justice, dignity and care are provided to all people.
