E-mental health technology continues advancing rapidly, yet equity-deserving populations, including diverse lived experience voices, remain underrepresented in design processes. This interactive workshop helps participants identify barriers preventing meaningful engagement and implement practical facilitators to ensure technology truly serves those most impacted by mental health challenges, not just mainstream populations.

This workshop will be co-led by Anita David (Co-Chair of the MHCC's Lived Experience Council, the Hallway Group) and Samuel Breau (Manager of E-Mental Health, Innovation at the MHCC), modelling authentic partnership between lived experience leadership and organizational innovation.
