Abstract

In September 2020, the Rural Institute and the Montana Family to Family Health Information Center launched a platform for people of all ages and abilities to speak for themselves. Montana Voices Amplified (MVA) publishes, promotes, and distributes articles and videos focused on lived experience. In this presentation, we will discuss the program and share lessons learned.
