You are the expert on your own life journey. Since its inception, the Unit has placed partnership at the heart of its mission. Partnership includes people who, either personally or as caregivers, have lived with a physical, mental, or psychosocial health condition that gives them valuable experience—namely, a cross-system perspective—as well as all the individuals and organizations working within or on the periphery of the system. Together, let’s break down the silos in the health and social services network and put your experiential knowledge to work for our health care system.
