Lived Experience Creating Change
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services is committed to making positive and impactful changes to the state’s child welfare system. Individuals with lived experience are the backbone of these efforts. North Carolina has created opportunities for individuals with lived experience to participate in meaningful discussions, events, and organizations to advocate for critical changes to improve outcomes for children and families. Representation from those who can speak from personal experience is of the utmost importance when making decisions that will change people’s lives.
