Disability Identity: Small Group Discussion

LSA Faculty & Staff Disability Navigators
Monday, November 18, 2024
12:00-2:00 PM
Off Campus Location
Whether you were born with a disability, acquired a disability, or received a diagnosis that revealed why you encounter certain barriers in life—living with disability can be a turbulent experience mentally and emotionally. There are challenges to navigate at work, in your home life, and in your ties to community. There are also opportunities for personal growth, new connections, and joy.

The LSA Disability Navigators are facilitating small group discussions for LSA employees (faculty and staff, including student workers) who want space to process their experiences and seek advice from a group of peers who also live with disability.

Participants will:
1) Learn about the 7 stages of disability acceptance.
2) Explore how to incorporate disability into your identity in a healthy way.
3) Receive coaching on the disclosure process and how to foster a support network.
4) Crowdsource resources and advice for navigating work and life with a disability.

This session is capped at 10 participants and spaces are prioritized for LSA employees. Non-LSA employees are welcome to register but may be waitlisted pending an available spot. Additional details available on the Sessions registration page.
