Sitting Pretty Panel Discussion

Ages 16 & Up: What does it mean to live with a disability in Vigo County? Jess Berryhill, the executive director of the Terre Haute Friendship House, will lead a panel discussion with members of the community who have hidden and visible disabilities. Learn about their lived experiences, the challenges that they face locally, and the role those without disabilities can play in creating more accessible and inclusive spaces.
