Welcoming and Inclusive: Actions for Churches in response to people with disabilities and mental health issues 

Too many people with disabilities and mental health needs still face abuse, neglect, exploitation and discrimination. People with disabilities and mental health issues still struggle to find churches that make them feel welcome and fully included. 

The conference will provide opportunities to explore how congregations can be more welcoming and inclusive, and also ways in which churches can be part of advocacy for further reforms by governments.
