Disability Concerns

Meet the Disability Concerns regional advocates for each classis in Canada in our re-imagined Canadian content newsletter.

Cara Milne, a Disability Concerns Regional Advocate, shares her experience of living through Covid-19 as a community. Her encouragement is "to take note of what is working better than it was before and protect that."

Join Disability Concerns Canada every week in October for our 2021 annual training event. Residents of Canada and the U.S. are welcome to attend.

To all Disability Concerns volunteers—regional advocates, church advocates, advisory committee/guiding coalition members, and so many more of you that support our ministry in many ways—we want to pause and say thank you.

In one Disability Concerns workshop exercise, participants are asked to identify a number of personal characteristics that society values, including ones related to ethnicity and ability. Through this, we can begin addressing systems that privilege some but not others.

Yolanda shares her experience of living with an invisible disability within a culture and a community that does not understand her diagnosis or how it will affect her life.

Being Black and having a visible disability (cerebral palsy) has meant that Marcus has lost out on opportunities simply because people judge his appearance without knowing anything about him.

We encourage everyone is who is connected to the disability community to be a part of this event! 

Disability Concerns has developed a book club resource based on John Swinton's book, Finding Jesus in the Storm: The Spiritual Live of Christians with Mental Health Challenges.
