April is not just about changing seasons, it’s also about stepping into strength, clarity, and confidence. As we enter Week 3 of our Community & Emotional Well-being theme, we turn our focus to something powerful: knowing your rights, expressing yourself clearly, and standing up for what matters most to you.
This week leads us into World Immunization Week, a global moment that reminds us that health is a human right, for everyone, including the DeafBlind community. Yet access to healthcare, communication during medical visits, and understanding medical information are often overlooked when it comes to persons with disabilities. This is where self-advocacy becomes life-changing.
Whether you’re advocating for clear communication at the clinic, accessible health education, or just making your voice heard when it matters most, you deserve to be included, protected, and empowered.
We’ll explore:
Your legal rights as a DeafBlind person,
Why self-advocacy is a skill worth building,
How to express yourself with confidence,
And how to protect your emotional well-being through supportive tools and networks.
Every voice matters, and yes, that includes yours.
Let’s dive in and unlock the power of self-advocacy, together.
