Many people still see mobility as black and white. But the reality for many is that it can vary, day to day, moment to moment. 💜♿

When we think of disability, we often picture visible conditions, but 80% of disabilities are not outwardly apparent. 🌻💜

From chronic pain, to mental health conditions and neurodivergence, many disabilities are invisible making it often harder to get the right help and assistance when barriers are encountered. Making the importance of symbols like the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower as a widely recognised symbol for invisible disabilities.

The design includes a variety of light purple stick figures, some using mobility aids such as wheelchairs, canes, or crutches, and others appearing without aids. In the center, three figures in yellow represent individuals with visible disabilities, such as using a wheelchair, a white cane, or crutches. The surrounding stick figures illustrate a mix of visible and hidden disabilities.

Today is international stress awareness day.

A day to focus on improving your relationship with stress in the workplace. So where can you start?

Ensuring that workplaces are fully accessible and equipped with assistive technology, flexible policies, and inclusive mindsets can help reduce stress for people with disabilities.

Which team are you supporting? On Colour Blindness Awareness Day, we highlight how important it is to communicate information in ways that are accessible to everyone, including those with colour blindness.

Avoid relying solely on colour to convey important details to ensure your messages are inclusive.
