LIVED EXPERIENCE COUNCIL
In 2023, PAARI formed a Lived Experience Council. Our goal was to create space for those who may have suffered the most from the opioid epidemic, but may not have access to decision making. It is led by our board member Stephen Jesi, who lost his daughter to substance use disorder in 2015. The Council is built into PAARI’s leadership and decision making structure to help give a voice to those who are closest to the problem. The council:
- Meets monthly for networking and training
- Is part of the decision making process at PAARI by consulting and providing feedback on on-going projects
We believe that those that are closest to a problem sometimes have the best solutions. If you are interested in applying to join the council, apply HERE.
