This webinar recording features a conversation with a panel of community advocates who are working to change how we see labeled people (e.g., “young,” “disabled,” “employment insecure”) in our communities.
We explored this topic from a service-centered approach and considering how to best promote the inclusion of so-called labelled individuals and to help them become leaders in the places where they live.
