Disability Concerns

Aproximadamente 1 de cada 8 jóvenes de 15 a 30 años vive con una discapacidad. En este número, varios jóvenes adultos con discapacidades, que van desde tumores y diferencias en las extremidades hasta trastornos de procesamiento y lupus, cuentan sus historias sobre lo que ha sido para ellos.

Michèle Gyselinck shares openly about her life living with mental health issues. 

While everyone understands we are all part of the body of Christ, not everyone knows how to be inclusive. “As regional advocates, we are that missing piece.”
