Advancing the Olmstead Plan: One Goal, Many Partners

People with disabilities deserve choice and inclusion in all areas of their lives. The NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) has a plan to make this a reality by improving access to housing, employment, and community-based services for people with disabilities. That plan is called Inclusion Connects.

The goal of this pre-conference is to help people understand the Inclusion Connects initiative. Bringing together people with lived experience, providers, and government leaders, this session will explain what it takes to transition people into community support choices for where people work and play and connect people to community-based services through the 1915i and Innovations Waiver programs. It will explain the complexities of the Olmstead Plan and highlight groundbreaking initiatives at the Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Use Services (DMH/DD/SUS) to bridge the gap in services for people with disabilities. It will also elevate perspectives on what works by hearing from people with disabilities and providers for whom choice and inclusion have become a reality.

SESSION DETAILS

TARGET AUDIENCE: BH/IDD Providers and Payors of Long-Term Supports and Services, Self-Advocates, Family Members, DSPs, Caregivers, and State and local government representatives.
