Envision a World Where People Living with
Illness, Pain and Disability Will Be …
People battling various mild to severe debilitating conditions are often told they, “Don’t LOOK” sick or in pain. Because others cannot see their fatigue, cognitive dysfunctions, mental disorders or pain, they often do not believe the symptoms are real or think the person must be lazy or exaggerating.
Contending with symptoms, doctor appointments, therapies, medical bills and losses can be overwhelming enough without also battling for the support of friends and family.
Therefore, in order to be a source of support, believing a loved one when they say they are sick or in pain is the most important thing we can do. Just because we can’t see from the outside, what they are battling on the inside, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. In fact, belief, validation and support can give a friend or family member the strength they need to continue the fight!
This campaign was launched by the Invisible Disabilities Association to bring awareness to the challenges of living with invisible disabilities, education to friends and family and support to those living with debilitating conditions.
Invisible No More! not only shines a light on what people living with disabilities contend with, but also their incredible perseverance and courage. It is our hope that when friends and family watch these stories, they will begin to realize that their loved one’s story is just as amazing,
Go on a journey with these incredible warriors and let their invisible challenges and battles, as well as determination, strength and true grit become Invisible No More!
Check out the Invisible No More! Campaign on our website and at Invisible No More TV.
We would love to hear your story too! Submit your video for review.
