Investing in Mental Health and Addiction Services
May is Mental Health Awareness month, and Activating Change is working to call attention to the disastrous impacts of our criminal legal system on people with psychiatric disabilities.
Supporting Survivors with Disabilities
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This month we draw your attention to the communities of support working to provide accessible healing services for sexual assault survivors with disabilities and the resources to help your organization reach, support, and uplift sexual assault survivors with disabilities.
Human Trafficking Awareness Month
Since 2010, the President has designated the month of January to raising awareness about human trafficking – both labor and sex trafficking. The limited research that exists on human trafficking of people with disabilities confirms that people with disabilities are at greater risk of experiencing human trafficking and are trafficked at higher rates than people without disabilities.
