After Kyle got diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT)—a hereditary disease damaging the nerves in his lower legs—he closed himself off and didn't talk about it.

Kyle, who works as a Starbucks coffee roaster, has experienced some physical challenges because of CMT. But another hurdle for Kyle was the toll it took on his mental health, especially after the birth of his son.

It was through conversations with his wife, who reminded him that his disease doesn't define him as a parent, that Kyle began taking steps to address his mental health and shift his perspective.

“It became much easier once I opened up. Seeing the support I had, being open and honest with my wife, not being afraid to talk about it. That’s what got me out of my depression."

To celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month and 30 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act we're sharing stories of our partners (employees) like Kyle who live with a disability. #NDEAM
