Disability, Dating & Relationships with Liz Dore & Jan McGuire

Listen as Naomi chats with Liz and Jan from Relationships and Private Stuff about their lived experience of working with people with disability.

And the desire to love and be loved, whether as a friend or an intimate companion, is a drive that defines a person in a way that no disability ever can.
