Webinar: Hidden Disabilities Made Visible: Why Canada Needs a National Hidden Disability Symbol

 

A national Hidden Disability Symbol: It is time. It is right. It is needed.

Millions of Canadians live with hidden disabilities. They are often marginalized, misunderstood, and ignored. There is a need to not only understand the complexities associated with hidden disabilities, but to share those experiences so that Canadians in the hidden disability community can access the support they need.

The Hidden Disability Symbol Movement is thrilled to announce our upcoming webinar, Making Hidden Disabilities Visible: Why Canada Needs a National Hidden Disability Symbol.

Date: Thursday January 20, 2022
Time: 9 AM Pacific time
