Disability Pride Month takes place each year in July, with the first celebrations occurring in Boston in 1990, the year that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed. Disability Pride recognizes disability as fundamental to a personâs identity and something of which they can be proud. Throughout the month, NACDD will offer a social media campaign with actionable tips for public health professionals to ensure their work is inclusive. Follow along on (Facebook and LinkedIn).
Additionally, NACDDâs National Disability Inclusion Network is pleased to partner with the Lakeshore Foundation to offer the Including People With Disabilities: A Training Series For Tobacco Control and Cancer Prevention Professionals.
The first webinar in the series will be an Introductory Training, held on July 23, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. The training will introduce tobacco control and cancer prevention professionals to fundamental concepts and strategies for including people with disabilities throughout their work.
