Promoting Global Inclusion

Keystone Human Services designs and implements culturally relevant community-based services and service systems that promote full inclusion and culturally valued roles.

Social inclusion matters. It is the foundation of a just and equitable society and at the heart of our work. Person-directed planning and advocacy from those with lived experience guide our work to develop sustainable systems.

We are proud to be part of a global inclusion movement, alongside advocates, leaders, and organizations from around the world.

KHS’s Listen Include Respect Initiative

What does it mean to provide good support? Through our partnership with Inclusion International, Keystone Human Services is working to strengthen our understanding of individual rights and support inclusive participation. Our goal is to ensure people accepting supports from Keystone Human Services are listened to and included, and their rights are respected. Over the past year, we have partnered with self-advocates, exploring together how the Listen Include Respect global guidelines for inclusion and meaningful participation for people with disabilities can impact an organization that provides direct support.

Participation in the UN Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

Keystone Human Services joined the conversations at the United Nations Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, where we explored how individual choice and decision making are supported well and how we can shift mindsets around the perceived capacity of people with intellectual and developmental disability, as well as the critical role direct support workers play in partnering with people with disability to create more inclusive communities.

Inclusive Education

All students benefit when students with disabilities are included in school, giving all children the opportunity to learn, build relationships, and develop the skills they need to thrive in their communities. We provide consultancy and opportunities for schools and educators to build their capacity to provide fully integrated, inclusive education, as well as addressing the mindsets and other barriers to school inclusion.
