I’m Not Broken; Don’t Fix Me: Disability Justice and Mental Health Care

This workshop explores mental health work in the context of justice movements around disability and inclusion. Beginning with a historical perspective, we trace the emergence of the Disability Rights movement, the social and medical models of disability, and the disability justice movement and how they impact/ed people’s experiences of mental illness, mental healthcare, and the changing role of providers in the healing landscape. Together, we will explore a disability justice-focused mental health intervention to resource practitioners with an expanded skill set around mapping resources and supports for individuals with complex mental health needs.
