Disability is experienced at multiple levels - individual, relational, infrastructural, societal and global. Its impact can be seen in multiple aspects of our life - physical, emotional, socio-economic, political and spiritual. Mental health issues affect us all and awareness towards the same is crucial in the growth of the individual and the society.

​

We at Team SWARI are working on a disability related awareness and sensitization event on Dec 4th 2021, Saturday, on the occasion of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (https://www.un.org/en/observances/day-of-persons-with-disabilities).

​

The topic is about psychosocial disabilities in workplaces, with selected invitees such as rehabilitation professionals, inclusive employment stakeholders and students pursuing a mental health education at Kristu Jayanti College, Bengaluru.

​

The aim is to create awareness about the importance of mental health and specific work related challenges faced by persons with mental illness in the psychosocial context of India.

​

The event and discussion is a celebration of neuro diversity and a confluence of diverse perspectives on collective and inclusive development.
