People with intellectual disability have the right to feel safe, respected, heard, and included when using healthcare services. Sometimes it can be hard to speak up, ask questions, or know what to do if something does not feel right.
During this 60 minute webinar, you will hear from people with lived experience and learn alongside your peers. The session is designed to help build your confidence so you can feel more prepared when talking with doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other health professionals.
