This year's theme is Together Against Loneliness.
Everyone feels lonely sometimes. But for many people with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities, loneliness is a more common and painful experience.
Their families can feel lonely too, and feel cut off from support.
Loneliness can feel like different things:
💛Not having a group of friends or a community to belong to.
💙Not having a close, special person to share your feelings with.
💚The answer is real inclusion💚
👭It’s about having good friendships and relationships.
🌟It’s the feeling of being valued and knowing you belong.
This is a problem we can solve, and 'Together Against Loneliness' is our call to action.
We want to talk about the problem of loneliness and how we help people feel connected and that they belong.
