Awareness to Action: Reframing the Conversation on Disability and Mental Health

Event Description:

Join us for an engaging panel discussion focused on the power of language in conversations about disability and mental health. Our speakers will explore how words can shape attitudes, influence access and belonging, and impact the lived experiences of disabled and neurodivergent individuals. Expert panelists will share professional insights and personal perspectives, discuss common misconceptions, and offer practical guidance on using respectful, inclusive, and person-centered language in academic, professional, and everyday settings. This event will conclude with a moderated Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to reflect, ask questions, and learn how to communicate with greater awareness and empathy.
