"There are more people in prison than there are incarcerated!"
This stark reality underscores the urgent need for innovative approaches that foster genuine rehabilitation and empowerment. The 10P WELD Advocacy Group believes that Wholeness and Emotional Literacy for the Disabled are fundamental to breaking cycles of marginalization and fostering true inclusion.
What Is WELD?
WELD is a groundbreaking initiative, standing for Wholeness and Emotional Literacy for the Disabled. We seamlessly integrate the transformative 10P Emotional Literacy System with a holistic framework to empower disabled communities. Recognizing the vital importance of emotional literacy for disabled individuals, WELD equips them with the essential skills to understand and articulate their feelings, actively participate in their personal growth, and become powerful advocates for systemic change.
Through dynamic workshops, insightful seminars, and comprehensive educational resources, WELD is redefining personal development and community advocacy for disabled participants. It's a Pioneering Program – an entirely Peerless Paradigm that propels Personal Progress, fosters profound Peace, unlocks inner Power, encourages mindful Presence, cultivates nuanced Perception, broadens Perspective, champions proactive Participation, and celebrates sustained Progress towards wholeness and self-advocacy. Try saying that 10 times fast. This unique model brings emotional growth, healing, and self-advocacy to the forefront of disability support.
A Global Vision for Change
Our mission is driven by an ambitious global vision: to revolutionize how society understands and supports disabled individuals. By powerfully merging emotional literacy with disability advocacy, we are establishing new benchmarks for inclusion and genuine empowerment.
The 10P WELD Advocacy Group is resolutely committed to dismantling systemic barriers not only through impactful community programs but also through strategic policy engagement. Our influence extends into legislative arenas as we collaborate with lawmakers to champion reforms that guarantee accessibility, equity, and inherent dignity. In a world where the voices of disabled communities are too often marginalized, WELD stands as the first of its kind – a potent catalyst for transformative change with profound and far-reaching global implications.
