According to Meuser, anxiety, depression, brain injuries, and chronic illnesses are all invisible disabilities, and are more common than many might assume. The focus of the first week is invisible disabilities, which are disabilities that are not immediately apparent or visible, but that typically impair a person’s daily life. The SSD will turn these stories into social media posts Tuesday through Thursday of each campaign week, which is also when the society hopes to invite speakers to give talks and lead workshops for students. “All week long, people are going to be talking about their lived experiences and what they wish people knew,” Meuser said. Students can approach to share their stories, chat with the SSD team about invisible and dynamic disabilities, and ask any questions they might have about the society. Monday and Friday will be tabling days, in which the SSD will have a table set up most likely in front of the SUB (exact location to be determined) from 11:30 a.m. “Success would look like … more people accessing our services and our resources, ” Meuser said in an interview with the Martlet.īoth campaign weeks will follow a similar structure.
