Today is International Day of Persons with Disabil

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

Disability inclusion is essential to upholding human rights. Participating in every aspect of life equally is a basic right and people with disabilities should be treated no differently. Inclusion and diversity benefit us all.

The global crisis of COVID-19 has exposed the impact of exclusion and highlights that work on disability inclusion is imperative. People with disabilities—one billion people— are one of the most excluded groups in our society and are among the hardest hit in this crisis in terms of fatalities.

Even pre-pandemic, persons with disabilities were less likely to have access to health care, education, employment and to fully participate in our communities.

The pandemic has left people more isolated, vulnerable, and reliant on services. We collectively need to ensure that all individuals are given the same opportunities and quality of life afforded to people who don’t live with a label.

An integrated approach is required to ensure that persons with disabilities are not left behind.

Events to attend or participate in on Dec. 3rd, 2021:
The Manitoba Human Rights Commission and the Manitoba Accessibility Office is offering a free webinar on December 3rd from 2-3:30 on IDPD 2021: Removing Barriers for People who use with Service Animals.

At New Directions, we know we cannot help our communities on our own. Whether directly, or indirectly, we work with plenty of other great non-profit organizations to help people in our communities. We want to spread the love and showcase some of our partner organizations.

You Are the Strategy!
Dec. 2 - 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.
You are the Strategy! is a 3 hour workshop designed for those who care for children, primarily foster parents but also support workers and those who directly support children in caregiving. Using material from attachment and Circle of Security, we will gain an understanding of a child’s attachment strategy for staying safe in relationship, understand how trauma affects this, and learn how we meet a child’s emotional needs.
