Janelle has co-written the SEEN ABLE Sibling Support Group Book alongside her husband, Aaron Wynn. They have piloted sibling support groups under the UPCI ABLE Ministries umbrella within their NJ/DE Church District and they currently facilitate a monthly support group. These groups focus on the impact that disability has on siblings within the family unit, navigating and normalizing feelings, and ultimately helping "glass children" feel seen, heard, and understood. Janelle was blessed to be a speaker for the first-ever ABLE family church camp (Camp IncredABLE) hosted by the Louisiana District in 2024. She is an active part of the leadership team within her local church, facilitating home groups and Bible studies and working behind the scenes within administration and multimedia.
