So You Want to Co-Design?
Abstract
To design responsive and positive care experiences we need to embed the diverse voices and lived experience of young people all the way from service concept through to continuous service improvement, and go beyond periodically consulting youth advisory groups.
Identifying ways to authentically integrate lived experience into service and care design can be challenging, yet creating opportunities for connection and engagement with young people and their families and carers enables the design and delivery of services that truly meet their needs.
Co-design is a proven approach that leans on creativity and participatory methods to engage diverse groups and address complex challenges, such as designing services and care experiences for young people with a range of emotional and behavioural challenges and backgrounds. Co-design recognises the lived experience of young people and their families and carers as specialised knowledge to spotlight and pair this expertise with that of other stakeholders such as clinicians, program managers and funders and inform the way things should be in future.
So, you want to co-design, but where do you start? This workshop will impart practical measures individuals can harness to prepare themselves and their organisations for authentic co-design.
You will learn:
-Core mindsets for co-design and how these can be practised by anyone in any role.
-Key features of successful co-design projects and opportunities and challenges for co-design in youth mental health and wellbeing services.
-The role of experimentation, play and how creative methods can be used with young people to create genuine connection.
You will be offered tools and resources you can use right away in your own contexts, and the opportunity to understand how to embark on co-design pathways that genuinely put young people and their families and carers at the centre of service design and decision making.
