Beyond Disability Network Centralized information Sharing

The non-profit Beyond Disability Network was established in 2010 to address issues relevant to those living with a chronic disability in Windsor, Ontario. They are a collaborative community network enhancing the quality of life for persons with a chronic disability by establishing a centralized information sharing hub, raising awareness of disability issues, and partnering together to make positive change. Beyond Disability has evolved since its inception, and the focus is now on providing central access to information and resources for adults and their caregivers; collecting and sharing information and resources; providing referrals to fellow members; social networking to create a sense of community among those with disability; peer support; and advocacy. Arla Peters and Melanie Gardin both serve on the Board of Directors for the network. They joined me this week to tell me more about it.
