Social workers engage with mental health on a daily basis. However, conversations about how mental health intersects with disability are less common. In this BUSSW Equity & Inclusion Speaker Series event, guest speaker Isabel Alvarado Dees will lead a discussion about supporting people with disabilities in your daily practice. The conversation will focus on accommodations, universal design, and changing the language we use to discuss disability and mental health. 1 CE credit will be available to social workers licensed in Massachusetts. If you wish to receive CEs, please provide your license number in the registration form.
