Individuals often ask, “How can I help raise awareness of the Sunflower?” The truth is that your support—whether big or small—brings us closer to a society where people understand that offering help, understanding, and kindness can make a meaningful difference in the daily lives of those with non-visible disabilities. As a supporter, you are the voice of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, and we’ve put together four ways for you to help spread the word!

Things to download and share
Download, print and display information about the Sunflower in your window, your community or your workplace.
Awareness cards
Our cards will raise awareness of the Sunflower, the rule of six and non-visible disabilities. Download, print and fold them along the dotted lines.
Share your Sunflower stories
It's easy to feel that your story can’t possibly make a meaningful difference, but the truth is that it can influence individuals and the wider community. Suppose you or someone you care about has a non-visible disability and wears the Sunflower. In that case, you can empower others living with a non-visible disability and encourage people to support them by sharing your experience.
Check out our podcast, Sunflower Conversations, and if it impacts you, share it with your friends and family.
Show your support for the Sunflower
Wear your ‘I Support’ pin badge, cap, or lanyard so that people know you support the Sunflower and can ask you about it. If you prefer a keyring or a wristband, we have those, too!
