Welcome to the Co-Design Initiative website, where you can learn more about the co-design method, what benefits this method promises and how you and your company can get involved in the co-design method through the Co-Design Initiative! 


This website can be used as an "access-point" or "hub" for networking, information gathering, planning and action! 


We work alongside individuals with lived and or living experience to promote co-design, offer connection to specific lived experience for resource or project creation, and facilitate workshops at the organizational and community level. 


The Co-Design Initiative offers many opportunities for you and your organization to get involved with the co-design method, first hand: 

Imagine what could be possible... 


What could we accomplish if we had the ability to ask what works, what doesn't, and what needs to change - before we start a project, resource, or policy change? What impact could we make on the directive of tomorrow's quality of life and care if we listen to and value this knowledge acquired through real life experience? 


With the Co-Design Initiative, we break free from traditional hierarchal roles - Where professional expertise and lived experience are valued equally


Instead of making decisions FOR individuals with lived and/or living experience, decisions are made WITH these individuals! 

 We aim to find real solutions to real problems... Solutions that work!
