GET YOUR STORY FEATURD!

The Home Sharing Support Society BC is looking for adults with disabilities in the Lower Mainland to participate in Walk in My Shoes, a storytelling project that shares real-life experiences through personal stories and professional photographs.

We want to hear about your life, your relationships, your goals, your achievements, and the experiences that have shaped who you are.

By sharing your story, you can help others better understand what daily life is really like, challenge stereotypes, and encourage people to see individuals beyond their disabilities.

For many young people with disabilities, employment barriers begin before the interview.

Inaccessible applications, limited accommodations, and assumptions about ability can prevent qualified people from being considered.

A job can offer much more than income. It can build skills, confidence, independence, and stronger connections to the community.

At HSSSBC, we believe support should help people pursue their goals and take part in community life in ways that are meaningful to them. This includes having a fair opportunity to work, contribute, and be recognized for their strengths.

Employers can help by making hiring more accessible, asking what support a person needs, and focusing on what each candidate can bring to the workplace.

A fair chance can open the door to talent that might otherwise be overlooked.

Friends make the everyday moments more fun.

They are the people you send funny videos to, share inside jokes with and call when you want to hang out.

For youth with disabilities, friendship can build confidence, connection and a stronger sense of belonging.

Because growing up is better when you have good people beside you.

As young people with disabilities prepare for adulthood, they may face important decisions about where they will live, what support they need, and what they want their future to look like.

Meaningful support starts by listening to the young person and including them in decisions that affect their life.

This reflects HSSSBC’s commitment to person-centred support and self-determination. Each person has their own goals, preferences, relationships, and ways of communicating. Their voice should remain central throughout planning and transition.

For young adults considering home sharing, this means being involved in conversations about their home, routines, community connections, and the support that works best for them.

Good support does not take over. It helps people express their choices and build a life that reflects who they are.

Sometimes support means stepping in. Sometimes it means stepping back.

Youth with disabilities deserve opportunities to try, make mistakes, discover what works for them and feel proud of what they can do.

A little patience and encouragement can go a long way.

Turning 19 should not mean starting over.

Youth with disabilities and their families are calling for smoother transitions into adulthood, with planning that begins early and reflects each young person’s goals, choices and support needs.

At HSSSBC, this connects directly to our commitment to person-centred support. Young people with developmental disabilities should have meaningful choices about where they live, how they are supported and what they want their adult lives to look like.

For some, home sharing may become one of those choices. When it is the right fit, it can provide more than a place to live. It can offer consistent support, trusted relationships and greater connection to community.

A birthday should not create a gap in support. Every young person deserves a coordinated path toward a safe, inclusive and meaningful adult life.

Sometimes it is the big moments.

A new job. A planned trip. Reaching a personal goal.

Sometimes it is the small ones.

Meeting a friend for coffee. Attending a community event. Starting a new hobby. Watching a favourite show. Seeing someone you care about.

Living with a disability does not change the importance of having things to anticipate and enjoy.

Having something to look forward to can make today brighter and tomorrow more meaningful.

Because no matter who we are, hope often begins with looking forward to what comes next.

July 28 is World Hepatitis Day.

People with disabilities may face added barriers to clear health information, testing, and treatment. Accessible communication and respectful support help everyone understand their health and make informed choices.

Contact your family doctor or health care provider to ask about hepatitis testing, vaccination, and available treatment and support.
