What’s a hidden disability?

A hidden disability is a disability that may not visible or immediately obvious
when looking or talking to someone but can have a significant impact on a
person’s life.

'Hidden disabilities' is an umbrella term that captures a spectrum of
disabilities, and can include:

• Sensory Disabilities


• Mental Health Conditions


• Specific learning differences


• Autism


• Long-term and physical health conditions

*not and exhaustive list

For The Belonging Project Podcast, I talked with Serena Savini. Serena has
experienced a life changing event a few years ago, for which she had to undergo
several surgeries and face chronic pain. In our conversation we talk about the
emotional impact this had for her generally and for her career within HR.

 

More recently, Serena has started her own podcast I’m Back!, a platform for many to
share about their life changing events and how they came back to work after
that.



🎙️ We had such a great
conversation, I can’t wait for you to tune in this episode!
