Freedom to Love: A Story of Partnership and Possibility
Brent and Fiona exemplify what’s possible when people with disabilities are supported in their desire to experience romance, partnership, and love.
Their story is beautiful – but here’s the reality:
Brent and Fiona’s love story is an exception to the rule. Too many people with intellectual and developmental disabilities face barriers to forming romantic relationships.
Assumptions, stigmas, educational barriers, and a lack of support prevent many from pursuing or maintaining meaningful partnerships.
Breaking Down Barriers, Building Opportunities
Love and partnership are essential for wellbeing, and no one should be denied the chance to experience them simply because of their disability. This means shifting perceptions, challenging stigma, and providing the support that makes love accessible to all.
How You Can Help
Creating a world where everyone can experience love takes action. You can make a difference by embracing diversity and breaking down stigmas in your community.
Together, we can ensure that love is not a privilege but a right for everyone, including individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
