Join Joe Zesski and Christopher Sweet of the Northeast ADA Center as they provide a broad overview of how the Americans with Disabilities Act applies in the elementary and secondary school setting. While the ADA does not provide funding for student services and supports like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, it has an essential role. The ADA is a civil rights law that prevents discrimination and ensures the rights of students with disabilities to equal access and equal opportunity, protects the rights of school employees with disabilities, and safeguards the rights of parents with disabilities to be engaged in their child's education.

This training will review New York State’s diploma and credential options for your child. Learn about the different options for students with disabilities and how diploma and credential options fit into transition planning and the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process.

The University of Dundee Psychiatry Society are proud to announce that we are hosting the National Student Psychiatry Conference 2022 in February 5-6. Due to ongoing COVID uncertainty, this will be an online event.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed and exacerbated the deep inequalities that exist on both a local and global level. The economic consequences of the pandemic (and the government responses to it) are likely to be felt for generations to come. As such, it has never been more important to understand how deprivation impacts mental health. Our selected theme for the conference is: "A Penny For Your Thoughts: The Link Between Deprivation and Mental Illness".

We plan to have a variety of speakers presenting on this topic including academic psychiatrists, clinicians and, importantly, those with lived experience. This talks will run alongside interactive workshops, opportunities for poster presentations and more! Planning for this event is still underway, but we will produce a programme as soon as possible.
