The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Initiative

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Initiative 

Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyards indicate that the wearer has a non-visible disability and may need additional support. Wearers can enquire about purchasing lanyards through the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower website, and organisations can find information about joining the initiative. 

Hidden Disabilities training

This workshop is designed to help you and your team feel confident engaging with people with non-visible disabilities.  

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower initiative enables people to discreetly share that they have a non-visible disability and may need additional support. Our workshop will deepen your understanding of non-visible disabilities, barriers to access and communication, and strategies to reduce these barriers.  

This practical workshop is a great next step from the free introductory video training offered to organisations who sign up for the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Initiative. It can also be delivered stand-alone.

Learning Outcomes

  • Learn about a range of non-visible disabilities 
  • Gain insights and perspectives from people with non-visible disabilities 
  • Learn how to respond to wearers of the Hidden Disabilities sunflower lanyard in the workplace and communities. 

This training is ideal for professionals, organisations and any workplace or community committed to supporting people with non-visible disabilities.  

Subscription to the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Initiative is suggested but is not a pre-requisite for this workshop.  

This workshop can be combined with Disability Start, or any of our offerings.
