Parenting is a human right.

People with intellectual and developmental disabilities deserve the supports they need to raise children in safe, loving, and stable environments.

No family should be separated because of a lack of services. Supports must be accessible, non-discriminatory, culturally safe, and focused on keeping families together, especially for Indigenous parents with disabilities who face compounded barriers.

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, a time to recognize the strengths, contributions, and potential of individuals with developmental disabilities. By learning more about how children grow and develop, we can help create communities where everyone is supported, understood, and included.

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month!

Today, we pause to remember the bravery, sacrifice, and resilience of those who served — and the families and communities who supported them.
Their legacy reminds us to cherish peace, uphold compassion, and continue building a world where everyone feels they belong.
We remember. 🌺
