Campaign Goal: "To promote positive images and abilities of persons with disabilities"

The West Virginia Inclusion Campaign is an initiative of the Department of Health and Human Resources, Bureau of Behavioral Health and Health Facilities that is partially funded by the Center for Mental Health Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. This initiative is part of Acting Commissioner Eugenie Taylor's commitment to implementing the goals of the Final Report of the President's Commission on Mental Health. In particular, this initiative will lay the groundwork for West Virginians to understand that mental health is essential to overall health by initially raising awareness about persons with disabilities in general, and promoting the abilities of all persons who have a disability. It is anticipated that West Virginians will begin to see the inherent value of every individual and will in turn focus on the individual first and not his/her disability.
