For many #queerseniors, the journey to live openly has been marked by courage, resistance, and love. Their stories remind us that belonging and acceptance, community and care are lifelong needs. No one should have to hide who they are to feel safe.

Every #olderadult deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported. Often, #elderabuse — be it physical, emotional, financial, or neglect — goes unreported. Know the signs. Start the conversation. Report concerns. Learn more: #SeniorsMonth #EndElderAbuse

FST sees #safespaces as vital to #healthyaging. #Seniors in our programs say #socialisolation and loneliness are among the most difficult parts of #aging. They are grateful for a place where they can share their stories in a safe, respectful environment.

Did you know… people with #invisibledisabilities face #discrimination because others make assumptions about their need for #accommodations. Over half (56%) of persons with disabilities report having at least one unmet need for aids, devices, or healthcare services (Stats Canada)

Did you know… people with #invisibledisabilities face discrimination because others make assumptions about their need for accommodations. They have same rights to #access & #accommodation as other people with disabilities, and by law they can not be discriminated against. #NAAW

May 15 is the International Day of Families. Poverty, inequality & disconnection still challenge families worldwide. In Canada, 52,500 children under 18 live alone - and 99% of them live in poverty. We move forward through advocacy & sustainable policies.
