COVID-19 Personal Emergency Plan: Self Advocate Leadership Network (SALN)
Self Advocate Leadership Network: COVID-19 Response
Self Advocate Leadership Network (SALN) is a provincial organization. SALN members are a collective voice of self-advocates in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. The majority of SALN members are part of provincial self-advocacy and advisory groups and so SALN is aware and interested in the BC self-advocate movement. SALN will support self advocates in B.C. by sharing the self advocate voice. SALN can provide regular content, including podcasts and video conversations around COVID-19. SALN is available to respond to questions about the self advocate perspective.
Key Messages for COVID-19 from SALN:
- It is critical that all resources and information are in plain language.
- There needs to be one place for self-advocate dedicated information. (SALN believes this should be CLBC and/or Inclusion BC.)
- Self advocates need more information about employment insurance, including the EI process and who qualifies.
- There is not enough income for some self-advocates to manage through this crisis.
- Everyone needs a COVID-19 Emergency plan.
