The Disability Dialogue, Open Dialogue event: 'Belonging: Making Friends, Building Community'.
This Disability Dialogue event was held on Wednesday 16th April 2025.
The event started with a panel discussion on friendship with Todd Winther, Emma Myers and Elly Desmarchelier.
Then Sally Robinson and Tim Cahalan shared their research about people with disability and loneliness.
The research told us what made people feel like they belonged and what didn’t. They also shared advice about how to make sure people feel included.
To finish the event, Saranna Schultz and Megan Lampa talked about how they became friends through a leadership program for young people with cerebral palsy.
