This NACCHO funding opportunity addresses the needs of people with disabilities in emergency preparedness, including COVID-19 planning, mitigation, and recovery efforts.
Understanding the harms of inspiration porn and how it contributes to ableism is integral to local health department (LHD) efforts to improve and protect the health of all community residents.
Learn why having the voices of people with disabilities directly at the table and in the conversation will help to ensure that any preparedness activities and plans made by local health departments are fully accessible.
The 2021-2022 NACCHO Health & Disability fellows had the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C. to attend the Disability Policy Seminar 2022, an annual conference co-sponsored by national disability organizations, where attendees receive training and learn about policy updates that impact the rights of people with disabilities.
Local health departments can model true allyship by using their platforms to raise awareness, combat misconceptions, and elicit more support for concerns that people with disabilities have shared within their communities.
The University of Alabama at Birmingham, in partnership with Lakeshore Foundation and NCHPAD are currently looking for people with disabilities and chronic health conditions, caregivers, health experts, researchers, and policy makers to participate in an innovative project.
The use of language and words describing people with disability has changed over time. Be aware of the meaning behind the words used when talking to, or referring to, people with disabilities.
