We’re thrilled to welcome this month’s guest, Marjorie Aunos, PhD, a psychologist, researcher, professional speaker, and consultant on accessibility and inclusion. She teaches organizations to solution-find and build environments that are accessible, inclusive, and welcoming to families with disabilities. As a disability advocate, she speaks to educators and professionals about embracing change, social justice and our need to support our communities to enhance everyone’s resilience. As a psychologist, she applies a solution-focused mindset and concepts from Positive Psychology into the workforce, to enhance team cohesion and psychological safety.
Marjorie is author of Mom on Wheels: The Power of Purpose as a Parent with Paraplegia, a contributing author to We Got This: Essays By Disabled Parents and an author and curator of Our Yellow Brick Road: An Anthology of Humans who believe in the power of storytelling.
Her TEDx talk “What we can learn from disabled parents” has over 500 000 views.
We will open 30 minutes earlier than the official start time, for an open forum to chat, get to know each other better, share amongst the great collective of women who participate.
This is our mutual support and social group for women of all ages who are living with FSHD. We created this women-only space to discuss health, self-care, and any other topics that we find easier to discuss with other females. Our group is hosted and facilitated by a group of volunteers. We may suggest articles and conversation-starters to get each meeting going, but this is truly your space to share what’s on your mind.
Please register below and we will send out reminders with the Zoom link on the day of each monthly gathering. This is a Zoom meeting and we prefer not to share the link on a public website (to discourage Zoom bombers).
