Podcast: What is an authentic life?

Mandy Young, a UBC Health Mentor and UBC Health Patient & Community Advisory Committee member, is chair of the board for a new non-profit organization called Families Supporting Regular Equitable and Authentic Lives (REA-L).

​REA-L is a non-profit organization that provides a space for families to share information and learn from the experience of other families. Members have created a series of podcast conversations with families that are for families who are striving for a regular, equitable and authentic life for their family member with an intellectual disability.

Through conversation, stories and reflection, families speak frankly about the ways in which they are supporting their family member’s vision to live an inclusive life, immersed together with all members of society, contributing in the same pathways and experiences that are common to us all.
