Homelessness Services Association of British Columbia

LET’S presented a workshop titled “Call to Action: Being Actively Anti-Ableist” for the Homelessness Services Association of British Columbia (HSABC) at their annual conference in September 2023. This conference brings together over 200 homelessness service providers from across BC to engage in shared learning opportunities. This year’s conference themes focused on professional development, peer perspectives, and social justice issues and the conference had a variety of activities designed to improve quality of care, support health and wellness, and strengthen the homelessness serving sector. As mentioned in the conference program, “Our Disability Awareness workshops gives you the tools to understand what disability is, the types of disability, the current language of disability, what ableism is, how you can actively work to fight against it, and tips for disabled people and allies alike to better ensure equity in all that you do.”
