🌻 What is the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower?

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a global initiative which aims to support people with hidden disabilities to access appropriate support. The sunflower itself is a globally recognised symbol which identifies that a person may have additional support needs, this may be through wearing a lanyard, wrist band, or badge. The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a tool for people to voluntarily share that they have a hidden disability, without disclosing details of the impairment.
