N&C Phlexicare are raising awareness for invisible disabilities, through our FREE blue heart shaped badges which are available to claim online.
Not every person with a disability uses a wheelchair. In fact, many of us wouldn’t even assume that some people had a disability, as conditions such as Crohns Disease, Depression, Mental Health, Digestive Disorders and many more can be completely invisible. An invisible illness means that in this case, a disability is not immediately apparent to others, therefore often than none, people tend to miss understand, give off false interpretations and pass harsh comments and judgements because someone doesn’t appear to be disabled. But disability is not just about those who are in a wheelchair, it’s about understanding that sometimes we may not be able to visually see an illness, but because we cannot see it, it does not mean that it is not there.
Invisible disabilities can affect people in a variety of different ways as there are many different classifications of disabilities, some which effect people mentally or psychologically.
The importance for visibility for invisible disabilities is increasing every year, with more and more people facing judgement because they do not appear to be disabled. N&C Phlexicare have designed a blue heart shaped badge which state that “Not all disabilities are visible”. We are offering these badges FREE to the wider public who have an invisible illness. We do not expect our badges to stop arrogance, but it can help to increase the education and understanding of invisible disabilities, whilst preventing people who have an invisible condition from having to feel as though they need to prove their illness and justify their need to use disabled facilities or even ask for a seat on public transport. Our blue heart badges encourage people to be vocal about their disability, informing people of their rights for using services such as disabled toilets, lifts, and more.
We have created other resources to encourage and educate the general public, such as invisible disabilities posters. Helping raise awareness for invisible disabilities could have a great impact on many people’s lives in the near future. It’s time to raise awareness and become #InvisibleNoMore.
