Disability Network of Mid-Michigan

Disability Network of Mid-Michigan We promote and encourage independence for all people with disabilities. Creating access and inclusion

We believe in what is known as the Independent Living Philosophy. The Independent Living philosophy postulates that people with disabilities are the best experts on their needs, and therefore they must take the initiative, individually and collectively, in designing and promoting better solutions and must organize themselves for political power. We believe that people with disabilities have the same right to participation, to the same range of options, degree of freedom, control and self-determination in every day life and life projects that other citizens take for granted. Thus, we as IL activists seek the removal of infrastructure, institutional and attitudinal barriers in our communities.

A new University of Michigan poll found that while only 19% of adults over 50 identify as having a disability, as many as half may actually meet the legal definition under the ADA because of physical or mental health conditions. Yet most don’t ask for — or receive — disability-related accommodations.

Let’s make health care more accessible for everyone. Share this post to help raise awareness and encourage people to ask for the accommodations they deserve. Read about it at https://bit.ly/4i94UHH

At Disability Network Mid-Michigan, advocacy is one of our five core pillars. We work hand-in-hand with individuals and entire systems to break down barriers and build inclusive communities.

Individual Advocacy: We assist people with disabilities in understanding their rights, accessing services, and gaining opportunities.
Systems Advocacy: We believe the disability isn’t what prevents full participation — it’s the barriers around us. That’s why we tackle major issues like accessibility, housing, and transportation.

Have a concern or barrier? Reach out — we’re here to help.

As the holidays approach, we want to thank YOU — the parents, caregivers, educators, service providers, and people with disabilities who support wellbeing all year long. We know this season can bring extra stress and unpredictability, so it’s important to intentionally create moments of joy. Here are 3 simple ideas:
1. Schedule Joy Breaks: quick mood-boosters like a favorite song, a short walk, or a quiet moment.
2. Savor Small Moments: notice and appreciate little positives in your day.
3. Name Your Joy: when you feel joy, amusement, or calm, label it
Wishing you comfort, connection, and joy this season.

As daylight decreases and winter sets in, many people experience changes in mood, energy, and motivation. For some, these shifts may be signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder — a form of depression tied to seasonal changes.
At Disability Network Mid-Michigan, we want our community to know:
- You’re not alone.
- Your feelings are valid.
- Support is available.
If you or someone you know is struggling this season, please reach out. Talk to a healthcare provider, connect with peer support, or lean on community resources. Together, we can support mental health, emotional well-being, and a more connected Mid-Michigan.
