Description
This engaging webinar will explore the potential impacts that federal actions taken earlier this year could have for people with disabilities. As advancements in inclusive policies and public health face challenges, this session will delve into how these setbacks disproportionately affect people with physical and/or intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Participants will gain insight into the intersection of equity, public health, and disability rights and gain an understanding of the urgent need for advocacy and reform to ensure equal access to care and services for all individuals.
By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Understand the critical link between inclusive policies and public health outcomes for people with disabilities.
- Recognize how policy rollbacks exacerbate disparities in health, education, employment and accessibility for people with disabilities.
- Discuss actionable steps for public health professionals and advocates to protect and promote disability rights amidst changing policies.
This event is free to attend.
