Description

The mission of Disability Rights Mississippi is to promote, protect and advocate for the legal and human rights of all people with disabilities, and to assist them with full inclusion in home, community, education and employment. 

Anytime that you feel your individual rights have been violated or you are aware of the rights of another individual with a disability whose rights have been violated.

If you know of a personal care home that needs to be investigated, or if you know of a situation in which abuse and neglect are probable, always call them.

If the issue is not in line with their goals and priorities for the current year, they will diligently assist you by providing referrals to others who may be able to help.

Help is provided in several ways, and depends on the priorities and goals set by Disability Rights Mississippi, which have been approved by the  Board of Directors.

Problems may include abuse, neglect, education, employment, housing, denial of services or denial of access. 

All of the services at Disability Rights Mississippi are free of charge.

However, issues must relate to either a physical or mental disability, include a violation of rights, and align with the goals and priorities set for the fiscal year.
