About thrive magazine

Disability Today Publishing Group, a disability community pioneer and leader for over 30 years, is known for its quality publications, and compelling editorial.

Since its inception in 1990, Disability Today has delivered educational and inclusive content through authentic conversations, diverse perspectives and lived experience.

The leading source for information for and about Canada's community of persons with disabilities, thrive magazine was born out of the need for special-interest media specifically for Canada’s amputee and limb different community and the practitioners and professionals who support it.

The publisher of disability and healthcare magazines and books - more than 300 releases and 2+ million copies in print over three decades - the media firm is led by Jeff Tiessen, an amputee of over 45 years.

Tiessen, a three-time Paralympian and world record holder, award-winning journalist and Canadian Disability Hall of Fame inductee, is a respected advocate and keenly aware of the informational needs of Canadians with limb loss through personal experience and a vast network of fellow amputees, prosthetic practitioners and industry partners.

As a publisher, producer and writer, Tiessen's work has always focused on the disability community, delivering information and motivation to live life actively, independently and confidently.
