Disability Justice is a core aspect of Disability Pride. Mental health providers have a crucial responsibility in dismantling ableism and sanism within this field. And yet, Disability Justice is intentionally and glaringly omitted from our schooling and training. We must interrogate why this is the case, and commit to learning from/alongside people with lived experience of Disability, Neurodivergence, and mental illness, especially with those embodying intersecting marginalized identities.
