We are very excited to announce that thanks to generous funding from the Law Foundation of BC, Disability Alliance BC will host a dedicated Disability Law Clinic beginning in Fall 2019.

The Law Clinic will provide people with disabilities living on low incomes with access to legal advice and representation, with a focus on disability law. All services will be offered pro bono.

More information will be made available soon on our website and social media.

We are seeking a staff lawyer and a legal assistant to join the DABC team. The job postings are available here:

We thank the Law Foundation of BC for their continued support.

DABC will be an exhibitor at the 13th Annual Pacific Psychopharmacology Conference gathering psychiatrists, primary care physicians, pharmacists, psychologists, nurses, and social workers in discussion of a variety of pharmacological interventions in complex areas that affect people with mental health disabilities.
