Mental health is an invisible disability that is often inadequately recognized and treated in today’s society. In this episode, Quinnipiac University PA student Robyn Roznitsky and UConn School of Medicine student Shaharia Ferdus discuss stigma versus discrimination with Kathy Flaherty, a Staff Attorney with many years of experience working at the Statewide Legal Services of CT. She is also the Executive Director of the Connecticut Legal Rights Project, Inc. (CLRP), a statewide non-profit agency that provides legal services to low-income individuals with mental health conditions. Join us as we dive into Kathy’s journey as a patient with unmet mental health needs, turned lawyer and advocate for those whose voices are not heard. Learn how you can advocate as Kathy does and become a part of achieving equity and equality for those without mental health resources.
