Join accessABILITY for Empower Hour on May 20th from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm!

This month accessABILITY is excited to host Nedra Smith MSW & LSW and Patryce Moore LCSW who are Eskenazi Health Social Workers and Facilitators with the Center for Mind, Body, Medicine. They will facilitate an interactive presentation and experience focused on Self-Care, highlighting one of several evidence-based skills that have been documented to help lower stress, improve mood, enhance resiliency & optimism, and help prevent chronic health conditions. (These skills can be explored further through their 8 week Self-Care Group Workshop).

Empower Hour is a monthly virtual opportunity for individuals and organizations who are part of the diverse community of people with disabilities to connect over topics and activities that have the potential to impact all of us. Please feel free to share this invite with any who may benefit.

Thu

Neurodiverse Peer Support Group

Jun 3 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Join us on June 3rd from 5-6 pm for the Neurodiverse Peer Support Group!

Neurodiversity is the infinite variations and diversity of the human mind. These differences are normal, yet the neurotypical society we live in puts up barriers. Our peers include those with ADHD, Autism, Tourette’s, Dyslexia, Bipolar, and more.

The Neurodiverse Peer Support Group is a peer-led, peer-supported safe space for learning and growing together. While we enjoy our social time, each month we cover a specific topic where we share resources, insight, and personal stories to grow as Advocates.

This month we’ll be talking about dating! Dating with disabilities can be hard – ableism and societal barriers are real which could lead to pressures and fear of disclosing your disability, difficulties with vulnerability and rejection, and continued communication and advocacy even in established partnerships. We’re excited to create a safe space where we can openly discuss this topic. You are also more than welcome to come and listen – participation isn’t mandatory.
