It's Invisible Disabilities Week 🌻

Not every disability is visible. About 80% of people with a disability have one that is not immediately apparent.

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a tool to share that someone has an invisible disability. Wearing the sunflower is a simple way to signal someone might need extra support, understanding or time.

By taking the time to consider each other's needs, we can make our communities more accessible for us all.

Our July Newsletter is out now... and we are sharing a bit about Gisborne Neighbourhood Support.

This month I’ve been thinking about the importance of having positive relationships with others. Whether you are the outgoing ‘life of the party’ or happier home alone curled up with a good book, we all need positive support systems around us; strong friendships and family relationships built ...
