Disability (Is Not a Bad Word) is a peer-led space for disabled and neurodivergent adults to discuss daily life and find support from their community.

This group is for folks who are disabled (self-defined) and anyone who is navigating living outside of the spectrum of neurotypical and/or able-bodied norms.

We welcome all who are new to the disabled community, who've been here for a while, who are processing feelings about disabled life, who are undiagnosed and/or self-diagnosed, who don't vibe with the label "disabled", who are still exploring their identities, and those who aren't sure if they're actually disabled or "disabled enough" to join a space like this (we see you and we've been there). We recognize that everyone is the expert of their own lived experiences and identities, and that everyone has autonomy over when and how they choose to share that information about themselves with others.

Join us for open discussions about topics that allow us to vent and commiserate about life, find comfort and connection with like-minded peers, ask questions and share resources, and receive support from each other. We discuss a different planned topic each 1st Tuesday, ranging from "Employment" to "Imposter Syndrome" to "Queer Intersectionality", and more -- and then we have an open sharing/venting space every 3rd Tuesday. DINABW meets virtually on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of every month from 6:30PM-8PM EST. You must RSVP in order to receive the Zoom link to join us.

This is a non-clinical group that is led by Beck (they/them) and Caroline Pittman (they/fae), disabled friends that are passionate about creating a space for you all.
