Research Study Opportunity:
“Relationship among Resilience, Social Support and Grit in People with Visible and Non-visible Disabilities
Introduction and Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships among resilience, grit, and social support in individuals with visible and non-visible disabilities. This is to help foster positive self-identity and to have a strength-based focus. A disability is an important part of someone’s identity. Therefore, this study will foster an awareness of a social identity surrounding an individual’s disability. The following scales will be used: the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (MSPSS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Grit scale.
Uregnt Action Alert: Tell Congress to Protect ACL Programs
We need your help to protect vital services for people with disabilities and older adults. The Administration for Community Living (ACL) was created in response to the disability community’s efforts to improve services and supports, mitigate fragmentation, and increase coordination between programs. Now, efforts to dismantle ACL could undermine these critical services, putting many at risk.
