BIPOC

What is BIPOC?

A disability is any condition of the body or mind that makes it more difficult for the person with the condition to do certain activities (activity limitation) and interact with the world around them, such as participation restrictions and lack of accessibility tools/accommodations.

 

Navigating the world around you without access to the same opportunities as your fully abled peers can be frustrating.  

Understanding that each disability comes with its own set of challenges and uniqueness, this resource page is not intended to group everyone who has a disability together. Unfortunately, there are not many resources for youth with disabilities when it comes to the nuanced understanding related to mental health.
