The Bazelon Center is excited to announce a new partnership with Steptoe & Johnson LLP that will help college and university students facing discrimination due to their mental health disabilities. The partnership will focus on providing legal counseling to
students who contact Bazelon about problems they face at school, including difficulties obtaining reasonable accommodations, issues with taking voluntary medical leaves or being forced to take involuntary leaves of absence, and being disciplined for conduct
related to their disability. Thanks to this partnership, more students who contact Bazelon about a campus mental health issue will receive assistance, and Bazelon will be able to generate more awareness about this important issue. <o:p></o:p></p>
