What is an Inclusion Seeker?
Quite simply, everyone is already an Inclusion Seeker – we just need to step into action. All you have to do is introduce yourself to someone who might be typically left out, or might be surrounded by staff supports, but lacks true belonging – specifically, people with disabilities & their families.
The goals of Inclusion Seekers are pretty straightforward:
Mindsets
Adopt a mindset that your connection to someone with a disability is an important and infinitely doable way to make their life – and your own life – better.
Action
Think of ways you and the person might solve problems together. Perhaps you can plan for a job search together, or take a trip to the grocery store. Maybe you can think of ways the two of you might lead a block party for your community together. Local, personal action is what is often missing from the lives of people with disabilities, and you can help add a little more in your own way!
Connect
Life is sweeter and fuller with more people in it. Are there ways you can meet new people and introduce others to grow the social bonds that keep everyone safe, secure, and living a life full of meaning?
