♥Disability Huddles Announcement♥ ♪Teens & Adults ♪
Hello everyone,
My name is FrenchMarbles, and I’m the Community Mentor Leader. I’m excited to announce the Disability Huddles will be returning for both Adults and Teens. I will host this every Friday at 5pm Eastern Standard Time for Teens and 6pm for Adults in the disability room. (Date pending)
I have a passion for the huddles because it’s a chance for the community to come together and discuss something we all share in common, which is having a disability. Now, disability affects all of us differently. It’s essential to recognise that, however, being able to share a safe space for people to talk about their disability and how it impacts their lives. In these huddles each week, there will be a topic surrounding disability. Through the sharing circle style, we’d be able to listen to those who choose to share.
