Zoom Webinar
Presented by the DOJ Wellness Committee
This session is about examining how models of disability informed language, media, and social interactions. In this approachable and conversational training, you will learn (and unlearn) different social narratives of disability, how these show up in our workplaces, programs and services, and how Disabled people have worked to inform their own sense of identity. Participants will expand their understanding of the power and resilience of Disabled people while developing more accessible and inclusive practices.
