People with disabilities should not be living in an institution, whether large or small.
People with intellectual disabilities and their families should have the supports they need to live fully inclusive lives in the community.
We invite you to access our newly updated resource document - The Right Way. This document is a guide on the right way to close institutions and the right way to create independent living options in community with the right resources and appropriate support to make it successful.
“I lost 18 years of my life to an institution. But I don’t concentrate on that. I concentrate on what I can change. “- Peter Park, Ontario
Peter is one of thousands of survivors of institutions. Survivors helped write The Right Way so no one else has to live through that harm again.
Closing institutions matters — but how we do it matters just as much.
You can make a difference by reading and sharing The Right Way: www.institutionwatch.ca/the-right-way/
