What is the group Fabd?
FabD (Families affected by Disabilities) is a support group for adults in the MME community. You can be directly affected by a disability, have a friend or family member who is affected, or those who wish to be an ally. This group is for those who want to come together and share their stories, gather resources, advocate, and support each other in their experiences with disability.
