Take a moment to yourself, you need it. 💙 Whether you're a person with an IDD or are supporting someone who does, this is a reminder to take a step back and practice mindfulness.

Yoga is one great way to relax and recharge. Whether it's traditional or adaptive, it can help you reconnect with your body and ease everyday stress. 🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️

Not into yoga? That’s okay too. A short walk, a quiet moment, or even just a few deep breaths can make a difference. Whatever mindfulness looks like for you, make space for it, you're worth the time. 💫

✍️35 years ago today, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law. The work to pass this act wouldn’t have been possible without the advocacy behind it.

With the changes that have impacted so many members of our community over the last few weeks, we are reminded, once again, of the importance of advocacy.

The fight for our community’s rights is far from over. At Partners Health Plan, we remain steadfast in our commitment to advocate for the independence, dignity and full inclusion of people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.

This day is a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come—and how important it is to keep pushing forward. We will not stop fighting for the rights and equity our members deserve.
