♿️ International Day of Persons with Disabilities ♿️

Today, we honor the strength, dignity, and contributions of people with disabilities across Hawaiʻi and around the world. This day reminds us that true inclusion isn’t about accommodation alone — it’s about respect, equity, and ensuring every person has the opportunity to live fully, safely, and with pride.

At Mental Health America of Hawaiʻi, we recognize that disability and mental health often intersect. Many individuals face barriers not because of their disabilities, but because of the stigma, inaccessibility, and systemic challenges around them. We are committed to advocating for a Hawaiʻi where every person is supported, valued, and empowered.

Disability rights are human rights.
Inclusion strengthens our communities.
And every one of us has a role in creating a more accessible and compassionate world.
