The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an impact on our lives and our mental health. Many people are experiencing heightened anxiety, social, and physical disconnection from others and ongoing concerns. Some unique challenges and surprising outcomes have emerged within the disability community.

While many people with disabilities have faced considerable social and mental health challenges, others have reported experiencing increased inclusion and more connectedness than before.

Discussion will also center on how service providers can access resources to support their services all while learning how to recognize the signs of mental health difficulties within the disability community.
