Cerebral Palsy with Eva Abley

By Hidden Disabilities Sunflower The Sunflower Conversations Share

 

Eva Abley joined Paul and Chantal at Disability Expo to share her life experience of living with cerebral palsy and how it has affected her mental health.

“Just talk to someone, an adult, someone you trust. Don’t bottle it up, because that’s not going to do you any favours in the long run. And I don’t want to say you will make friends, but I’m going to say you will be happy. You will find a point you’re happy.”


Eva is 15 years old and a 2022 Britain’s Got Talent finalist who endeared the country when she took to the stage to entertain, amuse and delight with her quick-witted and observant humour and comedy routines.

Close to Eva's heart is her work as a disability activist, and in this conversation, we talk about her lived experience of cerebral palsy, mental health, social exclusion and her activisit work.

This is a live recording.
