Your Life, Your Rights Program
BHDDH is committed to servicing the community. This includes giving members of the community information they can use throughout their daily lives.
One of BHDDH's goals is to make sure people know more about their rights and how to protect them. To do this, the Division launched a campaign centered around human rights. This campaign is called the Your Life, Your Rights Program.
The Your Life, Your Rights Program shares information about your rights in different situations. Program topics include:
- DD Bill of Rights: The rights you have when it comes to your DD Services.
- Safety Rights: Your rights to be treated well and feel safe.
- Antidiscrimination: Laws that make sure you get treated fairly and can be happy.
- Healthcare Rights: Your rights to physical and mental health care.
- Relationship Rights: Your rights to start, end, and be treated well in relationships.
- Disability Rights: Laws that protect you as a person with a disability.
- Housing Rights: Your right to fair, safe housing if you rent or own.
- Voting Rights: Laws to protect your right to vote.
- Employment Rights: Your right to feel safe and be treated well at work.
- Being Stopped by Police: Laws that protect you when the police stop you.
