Presenter:
Jode Keasler (she/her/hers) is a Peer Self-Advocacy Coordinator with the (PSA) Unit at Disability Rights California (DRC). She has lived experience with mental health disabilities. Jode is aware of the challenges and stigma one faces navigating the world having disabilities. She has not always been comfortable speaking about her experiences. Working in the Peer Self-Advocacy Program, she sees the importance of educating people with lived experience and those close to them about their rights and how to advocate for themselves.
For 8 years, Jode has been a Patients’ Rights Advocate working for the California Office of Patients’ Rights (COPR), specializing in advocating for the rights of patients with mental health disabilities at state hospitals. Prior to starting her career with DRC, Jode was in the field of finance management.
Jode feels giving people with disabilities a voice along with the tools necessary to use their voice to self-advocate and get the assistance they need is some of the most rewarding work she has done and continues to do.
