Scammers are becoming more convincing every day. They may pretend to be a family member, friend, employer, government agency, or even a trusted organization. One of the biggest red flags? They ask you to purchase gift cards as payment or to "help" them in an emergency. Remember, legitimate businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits will never ask you to pay with gift cards. Be on the lookout for these warning signs: Someone pressures you to act immediately. They ask you to keep the request a secret. The email address, phone number, or text message seems unusual. They ask you to buy gift cards and send the card numbers or photos of the back. If something doesn't feel right, pause and verify. Contact the person or organization directly using a trusted phone number or website, not the contact information provided in the suspicious message. At disABILITY LINK, we believe everyone deserves access to the information and tools needed to stay safe, informed, and independent. By sharing scam awareness, we can help protect ourselves, our families, and our communities. Have you or someone you know received a suspicious email, text, or phone call asking for gift cards? Share this post to help others recognize the warning signs. And if you are interested in learning more, contact us at (404) 687-8890!

Mental health is health, and invisible disabilities deserve the same understanding, validation, and support as any other. 💙 This June 27, we recognize #PTSDAwarenessDay. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can affect anyone—regardless of background, age, or life experience. Because mental scars are unseen, it can often feel isolating, but you are never alone. At disability LINK, we are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive space where we can break the stigma together, share resources, and uplift every individual on their healing journey. Let’s open the conversation and lead with empathy. 🗣️✨ 👇 How do you practice showing up for yourself or others managing invisible conditions? Let us know in the comments. #PTSDAwareness #InvisibleDisabilities #MentalHealthMatters #disabilityLINK #Inclusion #EndTheStigma #SupportAndResources

🎗️ Today is National HIV Testing Day 🎗️ At disAbility Link, we recognize the importance of HIV testing, awareness, education, and support. Did you know that HIV can be considered a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)? Individuals living with HIV, whether symptomatic or asymptomatic, are protected from discrimination in employment, public services, housing, and other areas of life. These protections help ensure that everyone has equal access to opportunities and support. While medical advances have transformed HIV from a life-threatening diagnosis into a manageable chronic condition for many people, stigma and misinformation still exist. That's why education, advocacy, and testing remain so important. Getting tested is a powerful act of self-care. Knowing your status can help you access treatment, protect your health, and make informed decisions. Early diagnosis and treatment can lead to healthier outcomes and help prevent transmission. Today, we encourage everyone to: ✔ Know your status ✔ Learn the facts about HIV ✔ Challenge stigma and discrimination ✔ Support individuals living with HIV ✔ Share resources and information At disAbility Link, we believe that every person deserves dignity, respect, accessibility, and equal opportunity—regardless of diagnosis. Together, we can build healthier, more inclusive communities. #NationalHIVTestingDay #KnowYourStatus #HIVAwareness #DisabilityRights #AccessibilityMatters #EndTheStigma #HealthEquity #InclusiveCommunities #DisabilityLink
