Canadian Health and Wellbeing in Developmental Disabilities
The Canadian Health and Wellbeing in Developmental Disabilities Conference is an interprofessional conference where health care providers and community partners connect to share educational and informative updates and practical, innovative, promising and effective practices that improve the health and wellbeing of people with developmental disabilities across the lifespan.
The conference strives to achieve equity, diversity, and inclusion through recognition of intersectionality — the inter-connected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to people with developmental disabilities, creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage.
We welcome participation from health and social service workers, allied professionals, educators, community partners, and anyone who wants to learn more about supporting the health and wellbeing of people with developmental disabilities.
