BCcampus is a proud member of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program, a global initiative supporting people with non-visible disabilities by fostering understanding, inclusion, and accessibility.
The Sunflower Program will be incorporated into our in-person and online events. If you wish to signal to others that you have a hidden disability, please take a Sunflower lanyard at in-person events or use a Sunflower virtual background online.
BCcampus staff participate in ongoing learning to understand hidden disabilities and respond respectfully and appropriately when support is requested.
Participation in the Sunflower program is always optional. Wearing the Sunflower lanyard or using the virtual background enables people to discreetly indicate they have a non-visible disability and may need additional assistance, kindness, or simply a little more time. Since the Sunflower was established in the UK in 2016, it has been adopted globally and is recognized across a broad range of sectors including universities, schools and colleges.
