Join Kelly Knapp of the Southern Poverty Law Center and Caitlyn Clibbon of Disability Rights Florida for an important discussion on recent federal litigation challenging delays in transferring individuals from county jails to state psychiatric hospitals.
This timely presentation will explore the broader systemic issues surrounding these delays, the rights of individuals with disabilities once they become incarcerated, and the challenges guardians may face when attempting to access or advocate for their wards. Presenters will also share practical guidance and available resources to help guardians better understand their options when a ward is awaiting psychiatric hospital placement or sentencing, experiencing delays in receiving treatment, or being denied access to their guardian.
Speakers: Kelly Knapp, Southern Poverty Law Center and Caitlyn Clibbon, Disability Rights Florida
