Wellness Resources

Wellness With Disability

  • Disability Visibility Project

    The Disability Visibility Project is an online community dedicated to creating, sharing, and amplifying disability media and culture.

  • Rebirth Garments

    Rebirth Garment’s mission is to create gender non-conforming wearables and accessories for people on the full spectrum of gender, size and ability. The line creates a community where all people can confidently express their individuality and identity. Our identity is that of Queer and Disabled, which encompasses queer, gender nonconforming identities, apparent and non-apparent disabilities/ disorders—physical, mental, psychological, intellectual, developmental, emotional, etc. In particular, our trans and disabled communities have very particular clothing needs that are not adequately served by mainstream clothing designers. Instead of being centered on cisgender, heterosexual, white, thin people, Rebirth Garments is centered on Queer and Disabled people.

  • Access Mob Pittsburgh

    Access Mob Pittsburgh promotes social advancement through positive change.

    The Americans with Disabilities Act is a complaint-driven law that requires individuals with disabilities to sue businesses in order to be granted basic civil rights and gives the public a negative image of people with visible differences. The goals of the Access Mob are to bring communities together to advocate for change through positive measures.

  • Accessible YOUniverse

    Accessible YOUniverse focuses on increasing inclusion of people with physical disabilities through advocacy and education.

    Though the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted over 20 years ago, people with disabilities still lack access to many aspects of their communities. Many businesses and companies are unaware of what steps they need to take to be welcoming to customers with disabilities, whether in a strictly legal sense, or in a broader moral and ethical sense.

    412 Food Rescue was founded in 2015 as a response to the fact that we waste up to 40% of our food when 1 in 7 are hungry. We bridge the gap between hunger, food waste, and environmental sustainability while getting good food to people, not landfills.

  • Garfield Community Farm

    Garfield Community Farm provides fresh produce and educational opportunities with our neighbors and volunteers, and seeks to demonstrate God's restoration of creation through urban agriculture in the Garfield community.
