The National Council on Disability (NCD) and the National Disability Rights Network (NDRN) invite you to join an upcoming Virtual Roundtable Series on Involuntary Institutionalizations Before, During & After Disasters / Emergencies.
This virtual roundtable series seeks input from representatives from Centers for Independent Living (CILs) and Protection & Advocacy (P&A) agencies on collaborative approaches that address involuntary institutionalizations throughout disasters. Inspired by the recently released NCD report, Preserving Our Freedom: Ending Institutionalization of People with Disabilities During and After Disasters, conversations will be focused on collective next steps for P&As and CILs.
Join 1 of 4 virtual roundtable discussions for conversation about prevention, advocacy, monitoring / investigations, community integration / re-entry and follow up resources / services. With such objectives in mind, participants are highly encouraged to come prepared to share their perspectives and suggested strategies for how we can best coordinate our efforts moving forward.
