SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn Series: Invisible Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:Lunch & Learn Series: Invisible Disabilities \nWhy is this topic important? \nInvisible disabilities are conditions that are not readily apparent\, such as chronic pain\, mental health conditions\, or neurological disorders.

By increasing awareness and understanding\, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone. \nIn this training\, participants will learn about: \n\nWho is Disability Network West Michigan?\nDefinition of a disability\nGeneral facts about disability\nWhat is an invisible disability?\nStatistics highlighting invisible disabilities\nHow to interact with people with disabilities\n\nWho will benefit from this training? \n\nEmployers\, government agencies\, schools\, health care\, non-profit\, and for-profit businesses. We can present to any audience.\n\n
