Participate in
Co-production

The co-production of courses involves a process in which people with lived experience work in respectful and equal partnerships with professionals to co-design courses.

A co-production session takes place before a workshop to determine the interests and needs of many different people in our community including possible participants, CMHA staff or people from other organizations who have helpful information to offer in course development.

At this session, we hope to hear from you about what you would like to learn about in the course, your feedback for possible learning goals and course content, and any other helpful information which will assist in how the course is designed and developed.

Questions asked during a Co-Production session can include:
  • What are topics related to this group that is most important to you?
  • What sorts of strengths/abilities would this course seek to enhance?
  • What is your preferred way to learn?
