Our MISSION

Inclusion Nova Scotia is a provincial not-for-profit organization committed to ensuring that individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families have the support they require to live full and inclusive lives in community. We do this by empowering and supporting individuals and families, promoting rights and values in keeping with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), encouraging reform, and collaborating with other organizations for social justice.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the efforts to contain it have changed all of our lives dramatically.

Inclusion Nova Scotia is following the instructions of our government and masks are mandatory when you enter our office. Most of our staff has returned to the office and our full operations continue, so please feel free to connect with us. We remain committed to providing support and resources for people with intellectual disabilities and their families. You can contact Inclusion NS staff at 1-902-469-1174 or via email.

Avoid speculation and rely only on information provided by public health authorities to make important decisions that affect your family and loved ones. Some trusted sources of information include: Public Health Agency of Canada, World Health Organization (WHO), and our provincial Public Health Unit.

It's a difficult time, but things will get better. We encourage everyone to follow social distancing protocols and to look out for their friends and family. Check in on the people you love. If you notice any attitude or behavioral changes and are worried, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) has tips, coping strategies, and resources to help manage mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic
