How does ableism show up in the playroom, and what can we do to create a more inclusive therapeutic space? In this powerful episode, Marshall Lyles (LMFT-S, LPC-S, RPT-S, EMDRIA Approved Consultant) joins Lisa Dion to explore the often unspoken realities of ableism and disablism in play therapy. Marshall, a leading voice in attachment trauma and sandtray therapy, brings invaluable insights into how therapists can become more aware of the biases and systemic structures that impact neurodivergent and disabled clients.

Send us a textThis chaotic and hilarious episode of Not Well marks the return of Bobby and Jim after a whirlwind spring that included a trip to Ireland. They catch up on everything from skincare and sugar daddy dreams to bizarre road rage incidents and unhinged homemade driving signs. The centerpiece is their unforgettable Irish adventure—drunken nights in Dublin and Galway, being “cut-shamed” at a gay bar, dealing with horny 20-year-olds, and falling in love with Irish lads, butter, and unbothered pub culture. Also covered: PDA shaming, gay-coded pocket watch obsessions, airport nightmares, contact lens trauma, and the trauma of being the oldest in the club. With their trademark irreverent humor, they deliver a jam-packed download of nonsense, insight, and gay travel trauma.Support the showAs always you can write us at nowellpodcast@gmail.com or call us at ‪(614) 721-5336‬ and tell us your Not Wells of the week InstagramTwitterBobby's Only FansHelp us continue to grow and create amazing content, like a live tour or just help fund some new headphones when needed.

Healthism is everywhere—but most of us don't even know it has a name. In this powerful episode of Thrive Beyond Size, Dr. Michelle Tubman unpacks the hidden force that turns health into a moral responsibility and worth into a measurement of discipline. From the praise of weight loss at any cost to the judgment we place on food, movement, and rest, Michelle explores how healthism intersects with fatphobia, ableism, diet culture, and systemic injustice.You'll learn where healthism shows up in everyday life, why it's harmful, and what it looks like to push back—without giving up on yourself or your well-being. This is a must-listen for anyone ready to reclaim body autonomy, soften perfectionism, and redefine what care really means.In this episode, you'll hear about:What healthism is—how how it subtly shapes our beliefs about food, bodies, and self-worthHow it shows up in medical settings, social media, and daily conversationsWhy the pursuit of “health” can become harmful and shamingThe link between healthism and diet culture, fatphobia, ableism, and traumaWhat it looks like to care for yourself without subscribing to health as a moral mandateHow to reclaim body autonomy and offer yourself compassion instead of judgmentResources & LinksLearn more about Wayza HealthFollow Michelle on Instagram @wayzahealthListen to previous episodes of Thrive Beyond Size here

Religious trauma is real—and for neurodivergent folks, it can leave especially deep marks on body image, food, and self-worth. In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Victoria Leon, ASW (@victoriarleon), a therapist who specializes in supporting people healing from religious trauma and eating disorders. We explore how faith communities can reinforce shame, control, and compliance—and how that intersects with masking, sensory sensitivities, and the drive to “be good” that so many neurodivergent people carry. Whether you're deconstructing, disentangling from toxic theology, or trying to reclaim a safe relationship with food and your body, this episode offers validation, insight, and a path toward gentler healing. ✨ CW for discussions of religious trauma, disordered eating, and spiritual abuse.

Send us a textIn this chaotic pre-vacation catch-up, Bobby and Jim return after a brief hiatus to unpack their lives before jetting off to Ireland. From skincare obsessions and Spirit Airlines horror stories to hot dentist encounters and the psychology behind sounding "too gay," the duo dives headfirst into everything. They rant about billionaires in space (screw you, Katy Perry), the illusion of economic wins, and the prison industrial complex. There's also a heartfelt moment reflecting on internalized shame in the gay community—and naturally, some dick talk and drunken bathroom confessions. Buckle up.

Jessica Slice, author of Unfit Parent, shares her profound insights and experiences on disability and parenting, breaking down stereotypes, addressing ableism, and showing what disabled parents can teach us all about resilience, adaptability, and embracing life's challenges.Full Show NotesIn our conversations around parenting, we often have a narrow definition of what abilities and physical capacities are required to be a “good” parent. From movies and advertisements portraying mothers and fathers effortlessly multitasking and holding toddlers on their hip, to parenting talks describing the chaos of carpool lines and daily errands, the portrait of parenting we encounter every day seems to leave out those with disabilities or physical limitations. As a parent, what do you do when your experiences don't match up with these cultural representations? How can each of us benefit from broadening our understanding of what it truly means to be an effective caregiver?In today's insightful episode, we're joined by writer and disability advocate Jessica Slice, author of Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges an Inaccessible World. Jessica became disabled at age 28 and has experienced firsthand how our cultural perceptions about motherhood often exclude people with disabilities. Through her writing and advocacy, she passionately argues that disabled parents have powerful insights to offer all parents, and she exposes the ableism and biases in parenting culture. Jessica's eye-opening perspectives invite us to consider how embracing a broader definition of parenting can benefit everyone.What Disabled Parents Can Teach All of UsEarly in our conversation, Jessica describes how attending a typical parenting talk left her feeling like an imposter because none of the descriptions matched her own parenting reality. In writing openly about her experience, Jessica discovered a community of disabled parents who shared similar feelings. But what began as a revealing essay soon transformed into a broader mission: to show how disabled parents actually contribute unique abilities and insights to parenting.Jessica points out how disabled people grow adept at solving practical day-to-day problems surrounding movement, food, rest, and more. Such problem-solving skills translate directly into caring for a newborn, making disabled parents often surprisingly adept at navigating early parenthood. Moreover, disabled parents have already learned powerful lessons in letting go of expectations, embracing uncertainty, and adapting to changing circumstances—qualities that deeply serve all parents as they navigate the complexities of raising children.Ableism and Our Culture of Fear Around DisabilityJessica thoughtfully unpacks ableism: the deep-seated, often unconscious biases and fears that lead society to view disability through a lens of pity or disdain. She explores how ableism shapes everything from medical care to reproductive rights—and even the way parenting itself is structured and evaluated.One of the episode's most fascinating discussions focuses on Jessica's research around early transitions into parenthood for non-disabled families versus disabled families. Remarkably, Jessica discovered that disabled parents tend to adjust far more easily and report fewer incidences of postpartum depression—despite often facing greater physical health challenges. She explains how our cultural fear of disability makes this early period harder for non-disabled parents: society conditions us to dread having bodies that are weak, fragile, or dependent on others. Disabled parents, meanwhile, have already accepted and adapted to these realities, making the transition less shocking and chaotic.Overcoming Barriers in Parenting SystemsThroughout our interview, Jessica candidly describes how social systems and institutions—from reproductive health practices to the foster care system—are often ill-equipped for disabled people. She discusses the enormous challenges and fears disabled parents face when navigating the foster adoption process, including inaccessible mandatory classes and intense scrutiny about physical fitness to parent. Despite these obstacles, Jessica demonstrates the incredible resourcefulness and creativity that disabled parents show in developing customized solutions for caring for their families.Jessica's story about becoming a parent through fostering and surrogacy illustrates poignantly both the systemic barriers disabled people face and their impressive capacity to advocate for themselves, adapt, and thrive. She insists that disabled parents' lives are not tragedies to be pitied; instead, they exemplify adaptability, patience, and the courage to embrace life's unpredictability.In the Episode…Beyond these deeply insightful conversations, our discussion with Jessica covers much more, including:How Jessica's disability shifted her perspective from striving and achievement to genuine contentmentThe critical importance of accessible and inclusive sexual education for disabled teensThe ongoing practice of invention and creativity disabled parents rely on to accomplish everyday caregiving tasksThe connection between productivity, capitalism, and society's attitudes toward disability and human worthJessica challenges and expands our cultural notion of what it truly means to be a capable, loving, and effective parent. Her journey offers invaluable lessons, not only for the disabled community, but for parents everywhere.

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. In today's episode, we dive into a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of marketing: disability representation and inclusive messaging. Host Sara Payne is joined by Kelsey Lindell, founder of Misfit Media, a trailblazer in helping brands improve their disability representation in health, wellness, and social impact campaigns.Kelsey shares her personal journey and experiences, highlighting how advertising can unintentionally perpetuate ableism even in well-meaning campaigns. She emphasizes the need to rebuild trust with audiences that have been marginalized by traditional marketing narratives. Her new workshop series, "Shaping Perception," aims to educate marketing leaders on the nuances of inclusive and equitable advertising practices.Thank you for being a part of the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. The future of healthcare depends on it.Key Takeaways:Understanding Bias in Advertising: Kelsey Lindell stresses the pervasive nature of ableism in advertising. Even campaigns designed to be inclusive often fall into language and visual traps that reinforce stereotypes. The discussion centers around recognizing and eliminating these biases to create genuinely inclusive messages.The Economic Argument for Inclusivity: Disability-inclusive advertising isn't just an ethical imperative—it's a business opportunity. Kelsey highlights the significant spending power of disabled individuals, stating their representation in advertising is starkly underdeveloped. Brands stand to gain by authentically engaging with this vast audience.Effective Workshops and Training for Change: Kelsey's workshops, like "Shaping Perception," offer foundational insights into effective disability representation. These sessions are essential for creatives across all levels, providing interactive experiences through real ad evaluations and strategic discussions on avoiding ableist narratives.Reframing Disability in Health Messages: In health care, empowering language often backfires with disabled and chronically ill communities. Kelsey advises replacing clichés with narratives that respect the lived experiences of individuals, focusing on allyship rather than unwarranted optimism, thus enhancing authenticity and connection.Frameworks for Inclusive Marketing: Kelsey introduces various models—medical, charity, and social—that shape how disability is represented. She advocates for the social model, which pushes for societal adjustments rather than "fixing" individuals, underlining the importance of building a society that accommodates all abilities.Explore Kelsey's insights and learn more about shaping marketing strategies that matter. Embrace the chance to make a real difference by understanding and involving one of the most overlooked yet impactful communities in today's marketing landscape.

In this episode, Ash and Dusty delve into the concept of internalized ableism, particularly as it relates to individuals with ADHD. Prompted by listener feedback regarding the use of paper plates, they explore how societal expectations can pressure ADHD individuals to avoid accommodations that might support their daily functioning. Both hosts emphasize the importance of recognizing personal limitations and offering oneself grace during challenging times, illustrating their points with relatable anecdotes about managing executive dysfunction and the weight of self-judgment. The conversation also highlights the significance of understanding one's unique needs and circumstances without falling into an all-or-nothing mindset. Through examples like dealing with household challenges and making choices about sustainable living, Ash and Dusty encourage listeners to embrace imperfection and prioritize self-compassion. Ultimately, they empower individuals with ADHD to permit themselves to make choices that may seem less than ideal but are necessary for their well-being and productivity.

While I doubt any of us would purposefully cheer on ableist behavior in our daily work, what if I told you that you may be secretly promoting ableism every single day? This week we do some tough reflection on the medical model that most of us work within and how it may inherently dismiss the environmental factors at play in determining the impact of disabilities on individuals' lives. And while we're boosters of the neurodiversity movement, is it possible that their critiques might be going too far in regards to ABA? Hot buttons will get pressed in this episode!

Brooke holds an empowering conversation with Tiffany Yu, author of the "Anti-Ableism Manifesto" exploring the evolving language around disability, the personal journeys of disabled individuals, and the importance of community and representation. Tiffany shares her experiences of navigating life with both apparent and non-apparent disabilities, reflecting on her childhood before and after her accident. They also delve into the significance of access intimacy, the challenges of identifying as disabled, and the systemic issues surrounding ableism. KEY TAKEAWAYS The experiences of disabled individuals vary widely, influenced by factors such as whether they were born with a disability or acquired it later in life. This diversity emphasises that the disabled community is not a monolith and that each person's relationship with their disability is unique. Language surrounding disability is evolving, and it's important to use terms that accurately reflect individuals' experiences. For example, "non-apparent" disabilities are preferred over "hidden" or "invisible" to avoid implying that individuals are trying to hide their disabilities. The concept of access intimacy refers to the comfort and understanding that comes from being in spaces designed with disabled individuals in mind. This fosters a sense of belonging and allows for more authentic interactions without the need for individuals to justify their access needs. The book "Anti-Ableism Manifesto" is structured around the framework of "Me, We, Us," which encourages individuals to first reflect on their own beliefs about disability (Me), then engage with their community (We), and finally advocate for broader societal change (Us). This approach emphasises the importance of both personal and collective action in combating ableism. BEST MOMENTS "I identify as having both apparent and non-apparent disabilities." "I think we are on the cusp of a cultural shift around disability." "Ableism is a system of oppression that devalues someone based on the way their body and or mind works." "Just because you've met one disabled person doesn't mean that you've met the entire disabled community." "I wanted the book to read as though a friend was talking to you." VALUABLE RESOURCES https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/disabled-and-proud/id1621152878 Tiffany Yu - https://www.tiffanyyu.com/book HOST BIO Disabled and Proud is the show that brings listeners a different perspective on disability. Each week this podcast highlights an awesome disabled guest speaking about their own disability; why they are proud to be disabled and why they are proud to be themselves. The conversations in this show will look at what challenges these amazing people face socially, mentally, physically and life in general. This show is raw, open, honest, funny, welcoming and educational. Disabled & Proud does exactly what it says on the tin! And whilst we are creating this space for disabled people to be unashamedly themselves, without the need to conform to society, this is also not about toxic positivity. This show will be shining a big, bright light on disability without it being “Paralympic or pity”. As you will hear disability is WHOLE, COMPLETE & PERFECT and whilst the topic of disability can be quite heavy - and we definitely don't shy away from the bad days - this podcast is also about having fun too! Our aim is to play a part in reclaiming the word disability - turning it from inadequacy to perfection!INSTAGRAM! https://www.instagram.com/disabledandproudpodcast/?hl=en: https://www.instagram.com/disabledandproudpodcast/?hl=en

This week on That Was Wild, Adam Macias and Bethany Michaels dive into some of the most mind-bending stories of the week. First up, we unpack the Gifted Intelligence Program of the '90s, which might've secretly been a CIA training program. Sounds like a wild conspiracy theory, right? Well, former GATE students are now wondering if they were unknowingly trained for covert missions. From Morse code worksheets to speaking Russian as a ten-year-old—what were they really preparing us for?

We're back with the rest of my conversation with Michael Murphy, discussing his experience with NLD (NVLD) and his book-writing and Sudoku endeavors!Support the showNew Website: badattitudespod.comBad Attitudes Shop: badattitudesshop.etsy.comBecome a Member: ko-fi.com/badattitudespod Follow @badattitudespod on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and BlueSkyBe sure to leave a rating or review wherever you listen!FairyNerdy: https://linktr.ee/fairynerdy

Send us a textThis episode dives into a chaotic mix of topics, kicking off with an absurd discussion about government spending on transgender mice before spiraling into an existential rant about sleep routines. The struggle of putting in a mouthguard, earplugs, and taking melatonin like a nightly pre-flight checklist is real, and the resentment toward winter laziness is reaching peak levels.Travel plans are a big theme, with talk of Amsterdam and Ireland outfit planning. The dilemma of picking the right aesthetic—whether it's brat summer green or something grungy for Amsterdam—sparks debate. There's also a revelation about the Netherlands and Dutch culture that, frankly, still doesn't make sense.Political chaos enters the mix with a breakdown of recent headlines, including a theory that there's a reason certain politicians act the way they do (cough Putin's leverage cough). A wild detour into the topic of the Epstein flight logs and why certain names keep appearing leads to some theories that are both hilarious and deeply disturbing.There's a rant about how Americans are perceived in Europe, with complaints about restaurant etiquette, slow service, and the European aversion to smiling. Apparently, asking for the check too soon is considered rude, but no one wants to acknowledge that sitting in a restaurant for three hours might not be for everyone. The general feeling is that some of these cultural differences are fair, but some are just unnecessary.A spicy travel story unfolds involving a random European encounter that may or may not have been flirting. The confusion of reading signals abroad is real, but the experience of being semi-hard in a Barcelona cooking class is apparently universal. There's also an official manifestation of meeting hot Irish rugby brothers, because why not dream big?Discussions about American history take a dark turn, with some brutal truths about how things really went down. The way Thanksgiving is framed in schools doesn't quite hold up, and there's a moment of horror at realizing how bad things actually were. The idea that early settlers ate each other when times got tough is casually thrown in, as well as the absurdity of how tobacco basically built an empire.The episode ends with more travel struggles, including an encounter with a less-than-friendly European shopkeeper who was not amused by a lost tourist wandering in with Google Maps open. The realization that Europeans aren't necessarily rude, but just different, is setting in, even if some customs still make no sense.Support the showAs always you can write us at nowellpodcast@gmail.com or call us at ‪(614) 721-5336‬ and tell us your Not Wells of the week InstagramTwitterBobby's Only FansHelp us continue to grow and create amazing content, like a live tour or just help fund some new headphones when needed.

Maybe it's the lousy Smarch weather, but we're in a bit of a mood to start of this month. Not because our special guests aren't awesome. We had so much fun learning about qualitative analyses in exploring RBT burnout with Dr. Nicole Gravina and how to be more ethically responsible in creating meaningful goals for autistic adolescents and adults with Dr. Shanna Bahry. And not because we're not reviewing tough issues like turnover in human services, deconstructing ableist practices in the medical model, and respectfully disagreeing with the abolitionist neurodiversity critique. Now that I'm writing about all the awesome episodes coming out this month, I can't even remember why we sound so crabby. Oh, right…the state of the United States political system. And rude emails.

They discuss the impact of societal expectations on individuals with disabilities, the importance of recognizing and addressing internalized ableism, and the journey towards self-love and acceptance. The conversation also touches on the challenges of communication, the significance of open discussions about neurodivergence, and the human experience in the context of sports, particularly focusing on Luka Doncic's recent trade to the LA Lakers in the NBA.SPONSER: Get an Autism and ADHD assessment in the UK with https://www.rtnmentalhealthsolutions.com/ Use the Discount Code RTN23 when you make your initial enquiry through the RTN website or the website portal.Support the show with our merch!

An episode that's processing all the right ideas!Here's what's in store for today's episode: * In today's advocacy episode, we tackle the beast that is internalized ableism. We all experience it—but how do we overcome it?* Due to the social model of disability, many autistic people say, "But I'm not disabled!"—when in reality, this is internalized ableism at work.* Our autistic meat bodies get exhausted just from processing stimuli and existing. The world is built for neurotypical survival—yet when we struggle, we're met with, “Have you just tried suffering?”* There is nothing wrong with being disabled—but at the same time, a huge part of our success is out of our control and depends on access to accommodations.* It can be hard to find the balance between doing your best and pushing your limits through masking—which, while it may reveal what you're "capable" of, can also be utterly torturous.* Our hosts discuss the dangers of masking to your limits and how it inevitably leads to burnout.* Due to our bottom-up processing, we're constantly taking in way more information at once than neurotypicals. In Uno terms—it's like we're always drawing a Draw 4 card.* We dive into skill regression and how burnout can hit you like a freight train out of nowhere.* In this episode, Matt and Angela discuss internalized ableism, the dangers of masking, and how burnout and skill regression can hit unexpectedly.* Our hosts discuss mourning the opportunities, friendships, relationships, and job prospects lost when burnout hits.* We discuss the subtle discrimination that arises when neurotypicals judge us as lazy or perceive us negatively due to burnout, without understanding the crucial context of our disability.* Coming out of the neurocloset is so important, though it often comes with immense fear of being judged.* In addition to this, we discuss the right to privacy regarding one's diagnosis, considering the judgment from neurotypicals and the fact that certain states, like Indiana, have autism registries—leaving us uncertain about their intentions.* You might not even realize you're autistic until you have an autistic child or reach burnout. The world is definitely set up for neurotypicals, and many people don't realize they're not neurotypical until they examine the systems they've created for survival in a neurotypical-dominant world.* We talk about how internalized ableism fuels unnecessary infighting within the autism community, such as disputes over functioning labels and levels.* Matt and Angela discuss non-speaking autism and how, contrary to neurotypical opinions, AAC devices actually facilitate speech rather than prevent individuals from ever learning to speak.* Guess what? Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) are actually often just autistic, with it being a rebrand of Asperger's, especially among women.* Internalized ableism is often passed down through your autistic lineage, creating patterns that you need to actively work to break. You may slip up and engage in ableist behavior, but it's important to recognize that and know how to address it within yourself.* Angela and Matt talk about their own autistic children and how, for them, doing the work against internalized ableism means making the world better and safer for their kids, while advocating for them.* We talk about autistic pride and how important it is—be proud that you're a zebra, and don't let the world beat you up for not being a horse!* The more you learn about your own needs, the more leeway you can give yourself—whether it's wearing big sunglasses, turning off the bright lights, using the little spoon, or whatever else helps you thrive.* Accommodating yourself and learning more about your own needs is one of the best ways to combat internalized ableism, build a happy, healthy autistic life, and advocate for the community as well.“Due to the social model of disability, we autistic people are disabled. And if you say, ‘but I am autistic and I am not disabled', then that actually is the internalized ableism.” - Matt“When you think, ‘everyone else can do this, why can't I?' - it's the same as a person in a wheelchair saying, ‘everyone else can use the stairs. Why can't my legs work?” - Matt“It requires a certain amount of therapy & personal exploration to identify, ‘what are my actual limits?' Like, where am I disabled? What are my things, versus where should I maybe not be giving up so quickly on certain things?” - Angela“Every machine has limits. A bulldozer can push more than a Camaro. And if you try to make a bulldozer act like a Camaro or vice versa, it's going to damage either machine.” - Matt “For me, the booby prize of having a major burnout episode is that I can't - I literally can't do it anymore. And I'm like, ‘where did it go? I used to be able to do that. Where did it go?'” - Angela“Neurotypicals look at [burnout] and say, ‘wow, how lazy of him not to be at work for a month. There must be something wrong with him. He must be crazy.' And then there's all sorts of discrimination based on that.” - Matt“We can't come out of the neurocloset and be ourselves if we can't be publicly proud of who we are. We're going to judge ourselves based on this artificial standard. Because if they're going to judge us, we say, ‘then in that case, there's a reason that they're judging me.' Because again, we're very reason-oriented people. We have the data, we have the logic. And it's incredibly hurtful to carry around this guilty secret that we can't say to people.” - Matt“We are the autistic culture. We come from a long line of autistic people. We see the traits better than a lot of neurotypical people with many degrees. We live the life. We know what it is. And we are people, same as any other. We're not worse than other people. We're not better than other people.” - Matt“Don't be so judgmental - of yourself, or others. And I think you'll live a longer, happier life.” - MattDid you enjoy this episode? We dive deep into internalized ableism, the challenges of burnout, and how masking can lead to exhaustion. We also touch on the importance of autistic pride and how to accommodate yourself for a healthier, happier life.

Friends, today we're diving deep into the heart of our favorite topic: inclusion! We chat about the barriers preventing true inclusion and we're challenging societal norms and asking the important questions about what defines human worth. What kind of person gets to be celebrated? What kind of person with Down syndrome gets to be celebrated? We explore the buzzword status of “inclusion,” the role of privilege in accessing support and services, and so much more. As we navigate this journey, we recognize the honor and burden of advocating for a more inclusive world. Progress in inclusion is happening, but are we truly championing the essence of every individual? Is the current system promoting equal access and opportunities? We're asking all the questions, you don't want to miss this thought-provoking episode! --- SHOW NOTES ⁠Learn more about regional assembly member Mar Galcerán's!⁠ Other episodes to check out: ⁠17.

What a CreepSome of the Creepiest Plots to John Hughes FilmsSeason 28, Episode 1John Hughes accomplished the remarkable feat of being a quintessential Baby Boomer while still resonating with Generation X and Millennials through his films. Movies—such as 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pretty in Pink, and She's Having a Baby—became essential viewing for generations that felt overlooked by mainstream media. He genuinely seemed like “one of us.”However, when we examine his work through a modern lens, it is difficult to overlook an alarming pattern of racism, homophobia, white privilege,  and sexism, as well as some questionable behavior exhibited by the male leads in his films from the 1980s and 1990s. Some of his movies also reveal a rather creepy element when viewed today.Sources for this episode:New Yorker essay by Molly Ringwald, 2018CrackedThe Franklin PostSplice TodayFar Out MagazineThe Daily BeastLooperHollywood ElsewhereRankerVanity FairYouTube Shrink Tank Literate ApeElle AustraliaScreen Rant MediumBustle Trigger warning: Sexual Assault, Grooming, Sexism, Racism, Ableism, and HomophobiaFor our non-creep, check out https://save-la.org/ for ways to help or be helped in the Los Angeles area. Be sure to follow us on social media.
