The Disability Network (TDN) is going Over the Edge for Flint for its third year on August 21, 2021. Over the Edge (OTE) is the only industrial rappelling event globally and provides community members the opportunity to rappel down the side of a multistory building.
The Disability Network can now register people with disabilities in Genesee County, over the age of 18, for the COVID-19 vaccine.
Coming this August to the Durant Luxury Apartments in downtown Flint, Over the Edge returns for its fourth year.
TDN Connect, a new multi-faceted virtual program offered by The Disability Network, is designed to help people learn new independent living skills by inviting them to participate in recreation and leisure programs completely online.
This free ramp is part of a new program at the Disability Network that installs temporary ramps into Genesee County homes. The program started in December 2020 with funds provided by the Community Foundation of Greater Flint.
On January 28, 2021, The Disability Network cosigned a letter to the state, along with the other centers for independent living across the state, to advocate for vaccine priorities. The entirety of the letter can be found below.
The past year presented several challenges for The Disability Network, our consumers, and our partners. COVID-19 created a unique set of obstacles, and social justice issues across the country raised ever-present concerns for a strong community continually striving for equity.
Despite the barriers caused by COVID, TDN adapted services and approaches to ensure consumers could receive our five core services.
The Disability Network will be launching a campaign this year featuring our very own community. The campaign will feature local residents with disabilities sharing their own stories with pride and in their own words. Disabilities are more than we think.
Though events and service work may be different this year, there are still many ways to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, January 18th.
With the new year right around the corner, instead of making a resolution, try setting a new intention. An intention can be a short phrase (some call this a mantra), or even simply a word or two.
