In October, CAN (LET’S) provided our Disability Awareness workshop for Inclusion Yukon. They had a lot of really great responses from people who loved the workshop and who learned a lot from it. In November, we provided our Disability Justice workshop.
Inclusion Yukon provides one-on-one support for folks who are neurodiverse in both providing job support and community support in meeting the needs of their clients. Like many places in the north, they have a wide range of educational backgrounds with some people coming to support work with lived experience, some with degrees in social work and some folks who are keen to learn more and are just starting out working with folks in the disability community. The organization has received a lot of questions from others in the field and they thought that a workshop on disability justice with two really knowledgeable facilitators might help.
