DO NOT LIMIT! A lot of the times, we can fall into the habit of reflecting our own limitations onto others. When it comes to the disability community, this can translate as what you "think" should be the standard or normal for others, but often times, placing these standards onto others can potentially limit them from experiences that would provide value to their lives. So as a part of our creed, this value holds strong. THOU SHALL NOT LIMIT OTHERS. Food for thought. #ndisprovider #disabilitycommunity #disabilityawareness #disabilitypride #disabilityadvocate

What are some tangible ways we can enhance support systems within disability households to ensure every individual's needs are met and genuinely understood and valued? 💙 The concept of "support" within disabled households can be redefined by acknowledging that it goes beyond mere assistance with daily tasks. True support involves creating an environment where individuals are encouraged to pursue their aspirations, dreams, and goals. It means providing the necessary resources, encouragement, and understanding to empower individuals to reach their full potential despite challenges. This type of support not only enhances the quality of life for those with disabilities but also contributes to a more inclusive and compassionate society overall! 💪 Here at AFNC, our mission is to provide quality care to all our clients! We offer services to help support those with disabilities as well as provide assistance to better help them and their families! Are you interested in our services? 👇👇 Visit our website for more information and to enquire today! 📧 #IDPD #InclusionMatters #EmpowerWithAbility #NDISsupport #mentalhealthquotes #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAdvocate #NDISNDISMentalHealth #SelfCareRevolution #MentalHealthAwareness

July is #MentalHealthLiberationMonth, but it’s also #DisabilityPrideMonth! There is no mental health liberation without Disability Pride! Disability Pride initially started as a day of celebration in 1990—the year that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed. Disabilities can be physical, mental, and often invisible. Let’s honor all of our experiences and fight for a world where our bodies and minds are valued and supported.
