Plus Value Awareness support statement

by Project Director Keith McKenzie


Happiness is not about money, vanity or entertainment. It is also about value, appreciation, well-being and a sense of purpose. We must never ignore a person with hidden differences pathway to happiness. No one should use a person's hidden difficulties to make them feel any sort of shame or unhappy. So their place in society must be appreciated like everyone else in society.



We must be also smart and not use happiness at a person with hidden differences expense. Also, we must not take advantage of a person with differences who are reaching out and showing their consideration towards others. Changing attitudes is essential, not to underestimate a person with hidden differences place in society. Also, not to use a person's differences to compromise their ability to maintain their commerce and stability. Including: stop trivialising and not discriminating, exploiting, manipulating, abusing & provoking, disrespect & hatred
