[NYAPRS Enews] June 29 SAMHSA Webinar: 'Bulding An Inclusive Society'

[Harvey Rosenthal]

SAMHSA ADS Center Training Teleconference


Building an Inclusive Society


June 29, 2010


In recognition of the 20th anniversary of the passage of the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA)

 

... the Supreme Court affirmed that the ADA prohibits the segregation of
individuals with disabilities. Needlessly isolating such individuals,
the Court wrote, is a form of discrimination based on
disability-discrimination that perpetuates unwarranted assumptions about
their capabilities and their worthiness to participate in community
life.

- The Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law

How can we build an inclusive society with a collaborative network of
agencies aligned to deliver effective integrated services to people with
disabilities including individuals with psychiatric disabilities?


To assist people with disabilities, consumers, survivors, family
members, advocates, and health care/mental health providers to better
understand the rights of people with disabilities, the challenges posed
by the assertion of these rights, and the protections offered under the
law, the SAMHSA ADS Center invites you to a free training teleconference
titled "Building an Inclusive Society."
