Resources

Sawubona Africentric Circle of Support was created to address the unique journey of Black parents and caregivers caring for a loved one with a disability.

​

Many of the families we support have expressed difficulty in accessing qualified Black professionals who also have experience or expertise in handling disability-related issues. This national directory was created in response to caregiver requests and inquiries. While created primarily for Black caregivers of a loved one with a disability, access to these resources may also benefit extended family members, and support networks. Services delivered by us and for us are necessary in completing the “wrap around supports” that the Black community needs to not merely survive but to thrive.

 

In this directory, you will find resources that address various areas of need in respective communities across Canada including respite, funding, legal resources, disability specific organizations and practitioners, education and more.

 

If you are an organization that serves the Black and disabled community, we are interested in hearing from you! Please complete this survey and someone will be in touch with you. We encourage B3 (Black led; Black serving; Black-focused) organizations and professionals that have a particular focus,experience or expertise supporting the Black and disabled community to apply for inclusion in the directory.
