This study aimed to provide practical insights into maximally authentic co-design processes, emphasising the leadership roles of individuals with ABI in program initiation, planning, delivery and reporting. A second aim was to describe and qualitatively evaluate a process of employing and training people with ABI to facilitate co-designed workshops, reflecting the co-delivery stage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using a relationship-building project conducted in partnership with an ABI self-advocacy organisation (Brain Injury Matters) as an illustrative case example, this paper outlined the steps of co-design from the formation of a collaborative team of 11 individuals to the delivery of three peer-led workshops.
