👨👩👧👦 For #InternationalDayOfCareAndSupport, we're also highlighting the important role #family plays in supporting loved ones with intellectual disabilities. Parents share how they foster independence - while also receiving support from their children. 🧵
Reposting this today, in honour of International Day of Care and Support.
#Caregivers are told to focus on self-care because it is best weapon against burnout. This isn't true. The best weapon against burnout is a transformed system that values us, doesn’t treat us & our work as disposable. Caregivers need to be co-designers of that system #ONHealth

On November 4, 2023, at the Rebuilding HOPE conference on the NS Human Rights Remedy, Premier Houston offered Nova Scotians with disabilities and their families an unreserved apology for the discrimination people with disabilities have experienced. youtube.com/watch?v=uq2OJN…
Inclusion NS applauds the Premier’s commitment to doing better. As an organization, we stand ready to support these changes and to work with people with an intellectual disability and their families as valued partners in this process of transformation anchored in human rights.
@UN new policy on transforming education is about creating inclusive & truly learning societies. Understand education as a global public good Australia's ratified the CRPD & must afford inclusive education to all students with disability-Everyone benefits! cuts2.com/SJhsc
Yesterday, Minister Qualtrough detailed the phases for engagement to develop the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit. We look forward to engaging with and amplifying the voices of people with intellectual disabilities and their families in developing the Canada Disability Benefit.
Minister Qualtrough just announced an engagement process on the design of the Canada Disability Benefit Regulations. All Canadians will have the opportunity to participate and provide input in the coming months. Learn more: ow.ly/kjb650Pk1BL
Diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are increasingly common in workplaces around the world. However, #disability is often overlooked or not given the same amount of attention as other factors. theconversation.com/organizations-…
HRCE claims business as usual at “open” schools but this approach denies students with disabilities their right to an inclusive education. @HRCE_NS @nseducation @BeckyDruhan
Autonomy of persons w/disabilities is hampered by accumulated structural disadvantages. Their choice of #MAiD cannot be regarded as free & uncoerced until those fundamental economic & social disadvantages are addressed. Full discussion👉bit.ly/3ObbayV
Exciting news! The Province of Manitoba has closed the Manitoba Development Centre, a HUGE step towards deinstitutionalization and the full inclusion of people with #disabilities in the community.
Inclusion Winnipeg issued the following statement about the announced closure of the Manitoba Development Centre. This is a historic day!
Finally! Almost 10 years after CL-MB's human rights complaint was settled...

Our aim is to unite families who share common values of inclusion and who want to secure an inclusive life which respects the human rights of people with an intellectual disability.
On behalf of @InclusionIntl Thanks @BobRae48 Canada has an important role to play in promoting system change at home and internationally
At the opening of the UN Conference on the Convention on Persons with Disabilities - speakers talk of “all people as subjects, not as objects”, how lack of protection and access have been magnified by Covid19. Canadians know this is true. Much work to do for systemic change.

Congratulations to Sir Robert Martin on his re-election to the #CRPDCommittee at #COSP13! As the first and only person with intellectual disability on a @UN Committee, Sir Robert is an essential voice advocating for the #CRPD and a strong advocate for our rights! @NZ_ODI @NZUN
Sir Robert Martin says, ‘I have more to give” and we are convinced he does. We give our full support for #RobertMartin to be re-elected for a further term in the upcoming vote at #COSP2020 on the 30th November: inclusion-international.org/sir-robert-mar… #UNCRPD
Sir #RobertMartin hearing the news this morning that he has been reelected to the #UNCRPD Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities with the MOST votes in the world! 121 out of 181 states voted for him! Incredible recognition for the last 4 years of hard mahi! #COSP13
FAMILIES AROUND THE WORLD, UNITE 🌏💕 Join us in celebrating families on 8 Dec at 8am/8pm EST: bit.ly/2JhArv5 The Summit will explore how we are connected by our love for our family member with intellectual disability and how that connection leads us to take action! 💪
How many more people have to tell their story before our parliamentarians pay attention. Ppl with disabilities like Susan deserve assistance in living not dying. No other Charter protected group is singled out by this legislation. #whyus
"Susan explains her reasons for requesting MAID are precisely those that the proponents of it have insisted would never be motivation." Gabrielle Peters illustrates how persons with #disabilities are made more vulnerable by expanded #MAiD access. #cdnpoli bit.ly/3kAiK6I
