Understanding and celebrating differences isn’t just kind—it’s essential. Our Disability Awareness program has served over half a million youth since 2008, spreading the message that all people are valued, accepted, and belong in our community #DisabilityAwarenessMonth

We are seeking licensed mental health professionals to serve as speakers and moderators on a variety of mental health topics for students, educators, and community members. For more information about this opportunity, please visit buff.ly/EbD4F94
