Cerebral Palsy and Mental Health with Eva Abley

By Hidden Disabilities Sunflower The Sunflower Conversations Share

 

This podcast was recorded as an Instagram Live.

Meet Eva Abley, the unstoppable force behind the memoir "The Good, The Bad and The Wobbly." At only 16 years old, Eva takes us on a journey through her life, from managing her symptoms of cerebral palsy to her experiences in the educational system and the highs of performing on stage.

Eva is honest in our chat about her life, which hasn't been plain sailing. Through harmful attitudinal experiences at school with friendship groups and teachers, Eva's mental health has been severely affected. Now Eva has coping strategies and uses her experiences to advocate for disability awareness and acceptance through her schools programme, Spread the Kindness. At college, Eva is studying Health and Social Care.

Eva's story is about growth, acceptance, and the power of being true to oneself. It reminds us of the impact we can have when we stand together for inclusivity.
