Please join us for an international panel discussion on The Risks of Assisted Suicide Laws for Disability and Eating Disorders Communities to take place on August 29th at Noon EDT. I’ll be one of the co-chairs of the event, which is hosted by our friends at Eat Breath Thrive and the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD).
As these laws gain attention globally, their disproportionate impact on marginalized communities often goes unnoticed. We will discuss how stigma influences both the creation and application of these laws, especially the deadly harm to people with disabilities and chronic mental health conditions, like anorexia. There are dangerous assumptions out there that certain lives are less worth living, less worthy of care and healthcare dollars.
I hope you will join us for what is shaping up to be an amazing event!
