Network teaches di
By Mike Sims
Of the Emerald
Disabled women and girls are learning skills
that will help them make better use of educational
and community resources with the help of the
Educational Equity Network of Disabled Women
and Girls.
According to Eugene coordinator Mary
Boomer, the network works toward this end by
providing disabled women and girls with
positive role models and helping them achieve a
good self-image.
“Our goal is for the women who participate
and the community that supports them to gain
respect for each other,” Boomer says. ”In this
way, participants in the network’s programs will
have the experience of being positive resources
within their support groups and the
community.”
Through the network, disabled women and
girls take part in informational and support group
meetings where several different topics are
discussed. Boomer says that group members Rain
group facilitation skills and learn to assess and
use community resources.
“Every group deals with individual and
group needs and challenges,” Boomer says.
Building accessibility, legal aid, communicating
with doctors and community ignorance with
regard to disabilities are just a few of the
challenges dealt with by network groups.
“The group is there for participants to use,”
Boomer says. “The group itself quickly becomes
a resource for its members.”
Boomer also says that all information shared
in group meetings is confidential.
Beginning in October, support groups will
begin meeting through Lane Community College
and Sacred Heart Hospital in Eugene,
Willamalane Park and Recreation District in Spr
ingfield, and the Association for Retarded
Citizens in Corvallis. Groups will meet for two
hours each week through December.
Boomer emphasizes that each group is open
to all women and girls with all kinds of
disabilities, as well as interested able-bodied
women. She says, however, that the majority of
women in the Sacred Heart group have become
disabled within the past ten years. She adds that
facilitators will be glad to help steer individuals
toward a suitable group.
Women and girls interested in more Informa
tion on the Willamalane group may call Dorothy
Van Winkle at 746-1669. Those interested in the
LCC group may contact Dolores May at 726-2204.
Boomer is available at the University YWCA,
841 E. 18th, or by calling 686-4439 for informa
tion on the remaining groups or any other aspect
of the network and its programs.
“I offer a challenge to disabled or able
bodied women to risk-calling,” Boomer says. "I
know it takes courage to pick up that phone, but
our program is really exciting.”
