Accessibility Fair and Living Library
My producer, Sandy Barron, and I had pleasure of attending The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre’s Accessibility Fair and Living Library. At the event we discussed what accessibility means to us at Twenty-First Century Disability. We had a number of conversations with their staff about how they can improve accessibility for their patients.
The Accessibility Fair brought together organizations by and for People with Disabilities to network and share information with clinicians, staff, and community members of The Royal. An essential part of the event featured an accessibility-themed “living library.” Living library participants shared insights and expertise about creating more accessible spaces and services that can contribute to improving the mental, physical, and substance use health of People with Disabilities.
