Including Others

Melina B is an employee at The Arc of Midland. She makes the office much more fun, and we love seeing her each day. Melina is authoring the blog, and “spilling the tea” about all sorts of things while sharing her perspective! Follow along as Melina posts each Monday for “Mondays with Melina.”

This week, Melina is talking about something that is at the heart of what we do at The Arc: including others. Feeling included can be as simple as being invited to join an activity, having someone to talk to, or knowing that you are welcome just as you are. Little moments like this can make a big difference.

For people with disabilities, inclusion also means having the same opportunities to be involved, make choices, build friendships, and be a part of their community. Everyone has something to bring to the table, and sometimes advocacy starts with something as simple as making sure no one is left out. As Melina reminds us, everyone deserves the chance to join in, meet new people, have fun, and feel like they belong.

Without further ado…
