About

One in every seven people are affected by an unseen disability globally. Founded by Maddie Mazzella, the Invisible Impairment Initiative is dedicated to educating and raising awareness to foster more inclusive environments. We seek to bridge the gap between visibility and understanding making the invisible not only visible, but included.

Mission, Vision, & Values

Mission:

From invisible to included--we aim to end the stigma around invisible impairments increasing acceptance and accessibility.

Vision:

We envision a world where individuals with invisible impairments can ask and receive help easily and without judgment. We aim to highlight how people all around are dealing with silent struggles and encourage people to lead with patience and kindness.

Values:

To Include- We are actively working to dismantle barriers and foster an environment where ALL feel included, regardless of background, identity, or experience.
To Impact- We are committed to creating significant and positive change in everything we do.
To Inspire- We are dedicated to fostering an environment that challenges the status quo and encourages others to be fearless in their pursuit of making a difference.
