Continuing Education Course: Race & Disability: Understanding Disparities and Advocating for Change (5 CEs)
This course explores the complex intersections of race, disability, and systemic oppression, highlighting how racism and ableism compound to create profound inequities in healthcare, education, employment, housing, and the justice system for BIPOC individuals with disabilities. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of historical and contemporary drivers of disparity, learn about the principles of Disability Justice, and explore evidence-based strategies for advancing equity across multiple sectors. Grounded in both research and lived experience, this training empowers professionals to challenge structural barriers, center the voices of those most impacted, and advocate for meaningful, intersectional change in their practice and communities.
