Overview
In today's world, there is a growing recognition of the importance of mental health and its impact on overall well-being. More people understand that mental health challenges are common and can affect anyone, leading to an increased demand for resources and support.
Adults with disabilities experience mental health challenges at a rate 5 times as often as adults without disabilities (CDC). Through our work in serving communities nationwide, Easterseals understands that supporting mental health is essential for achieving your most important goals.
To support children, we provide families with resources to create a supportive and stable home environment. Children at Easterseals learn how to connect with others through peer groups and recreational camps. Our programs teach children skills and coping strategies to better understand emotions and navigate challenges.
For adults, we know how mental health affects education, employment, and health goals, so we pay close attention to mental health needs. We connect adults with support groups, crisis assistance, recreation, and respite programs to help manage stress. We refer and provide aid for veterans facing mental health challenges. Caregivers are given resources to care for themselves so they can be there for their loved ones.
Combating Isolation
Isolation impacts mental health. 40% of adults with disabilities report feeling lonely and isolated. At Easterseals, we address barriers that lead to isolation, such as lack of accessible transportation and the need for safe, welcoming, and accessible community spaces where everyone feels like they belong.
Our transportation services connect people to their communities, from local transportation at Easterseals locations, to national advocacy for creating accessible airlines. We help to bridge the gap between what resources are readily available and the needs of people with disabilities, caregivers, and military families.
ES Gaming, powered by Easterseals, is an online community for disabled and nondisabled gamers to come together for gaming and conversation. With a growing Discord community and fun, online events throughout the year, ES Gaming exists to deliver an inclusive, welcoming space for all. We also host monthly movie nights.
