About the event
Do you want to learn from people with experience fighting for their rights in an ableist society? Do you want to hear from leaders of advocacy groups and award-winning change-makers in BC? Join our upcoming panel presentation!
Our panelists will share real stories and advice for dealing with bullying and ableism.
This event is a great chance for community members, service providers, and allies to step back and learn directly from people with lived experience.
This event is a great chance for self-advocates to learn from other people's experiences and to feel more confident when dealing with ableism in everyday life.
Our panel members will each share lessons and experiences. And then we'll have some time for a few questions and discussion at the end.
