May 5: European Day for Independent Living
MAY is OUR Mental Health Awareness MONTH!
Today marks the European Day for Independent Living.
This day raises awareness of the rights of disabled people to live independently, make their own choices, and have equal access to opportunities and communities.
It’s an important reminder that accessibility and inclusion should never be treated as an afterthought. Creating spaces where everyone can participate fully benefits us all.
Looking to get involved at work? Consider reviewing accessibility practices, opening conversations around inclusion, or learning more about the barriers disabled people still face today.

How we talk about mental health at work matters - and so does how we listen, show up, and create environments where ourselves and others feel seen, heard, and valued.
In this 60-minute session for Mental Health Awareness Week, Solène Anglaret invites you into a reflective and practical conversation about mental health and inclusion at work. Together, we’ll explore:
What mental health means and the many ways in which we look after ourselves and each other (or sometimes don't...)
What makes mental health inclusion a fundamental part of workplace culture, and how we can each contribute
How our identities - such as gender, race, class, and neurodivergence - shape our experiences of mental health and access to support
With a mindful welcome, space for reflection, and clear takeaways, this session will open up a meaningful conversation about mental health at work.
