The Silos Within:
Bridging our Network to Create Deep Connections, Leadership, and Stronger Allies
March 20-22, 2018
This year’s Massachusetts Leadership Academy (MLA) explored how to bridge the gaps between the mental health community and the physical disability community.
The Annual MLA is a 3-day retreat where we gather to develop our personal leadership skills, learn about the mental health recovery movement, and learn how to advocate for change through the power of peer support. By bringing people together across a spectrum of abilities and struggles, we hope to weave a strong web of resource and allies to improve our lives.
