About Well Adapt

Well Adapt is a social enterprise reimagining health and social care through the lens of disability justice.

Disabled and chronically ill people are regularly abandoned by health and social care systems leading to completely avoidable pain, hardship and death. 

Well Adapt supports chronically ill people to manage symptoms like pain and fatigue. We work with policymakers, healthcare providers, and communities to build health and social care systems grounded in disability justice – recognising that intersecting marginalisations such race, gender, class, and sexuality all shape how people experience health and care.
