We all play a role in inclusion and disability advocacy! 💚🍀

Start by using person-first language when referring to people with disabilities. As referenced on odr.dc.gov, “People First Language puts the person before the disability, and describes what a person has, not who a person is”. Doing this can help create an inclusive environment for everyone in our communities!

Having a good childhood is something every kid deserves, but unfortunately far too many children are exposed to adverse and traumatic life experiences.

April is , so let’s join together to shift our focus away from individual responsibility and towards community solutions that can reduce stigma around seeking help and create nurturing environments.

Finnegan’s Challenge is raising awareness and striving to create an environment where all children can thrive. Let's make a stand for our kids - let’s help them reach their full potential! 🍀
