• DISC Disability Income Support Coalition

  The Schizophrenia Society of Saskatchewan has joined forces with 25 other organizations that represent people with disabilities to form the Disability Income Support Coalition – DISC, for more information on DISC please go to www.saskdisc.ca

  What is DISC?
  The Saskatchewan Disability Income Support Coalition (DISC) was formed by a large cross section of disability advocates, consumers and organizations across Saskatchewan who are committed to advocating for a respectful, dignified and adequate income support system. DISC members have joined together to speak as one voice, working towards a distinct (or separate) income system for people with disabilities that will be built on our common vision and principles.

  Our Vision
  Our primary vision is to see an income system that offers both an adequate baseline income for people with disabilities and a user-friendly mechanism to address individual financial needs based on the impact of disability.

  As such, we see developing a distinct income program for people with disabilities as a truly joint venture between all stakeholders, each contributing equally to the process. DISC comes with one voice and we propose that the Government of Saskatchewan let us bring our rich experience and contribute our expertise to the development of a new income policy for people with disabilities.

  Please contact one of the DISC contact people if you have any questions or comments.

  Dave Nelson (306) 525-5601
  Cindy Leggott (306) 584-0101
  Judy Hannah (306) 955-3344

  As we look towards our vision of developing a distinct income system, one thing is clear –
  no one can create a better system alone.

  DISC members believe strongly that the only way to move forward is as one voice and in a collaborative, full partnership with the Government of Saskatchewan and the Department of Community Resources.

  We believe that a program designed without the collaboration of community experts will lack credibility and be unsatisfactory in meeting the income support needs of people with disabilities.

• Mental Health Commission creates Website

  Just over one year ago, the Standing Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology released its final report on mental health, mental illness and addictions, Out of the Shadows at Last. One of the key recommendations in that report was to create a national mental health commission to help ensure that mental health issues were never again driven back into the shadows.

  In its March 2007 budget the Government of Canada provided funding for the creation of the Mental Health Commission of Canada, as recommended in our report. The Government also named the former Chair of our Committee, the Honourable Michael Kirby, as the first Chair of the Commission.

  The Mental Health Commission of Canada is launching a temporary website. The website will provide information about the Commission as it begins its activities.

  For more information please follow the link below.
