New Resource for Fair Compensation Practices for People with Lived Experience

Oct 9, 2025 | News, Resource

People with Lived Experience (PWLE) bring insights that make policies, programs, and services stronger, more relevant, and more effective. But their expertise is often undervalued, or even excluded, because of outdated or inflexible compensation practices.

CACP has partnered with our PWLE Advisory Council to bring you our new Compensating People with Lived Experience guide where we lay out clear, practical steps to pay PWLE fairly and equitably. 

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Why compensation matters for authentic engagement
  • Common complexities and how to navigate them (access, reimbursement, benefits)
  • Flexible, co-designed approaches that meet people where they are
  • Practical tips to make sure no voice is left out

If you’re a health sector leader, this guide is built for you.

Let’s raise the standard together: respectful, flexible compensation practices are essential.

Let’s work together.
