Learning disability and Mental health awareness 2024.
Introduction. The
purpose of writing this report is because October is learning disability month,
and I will raise mental health awareness simultaneously. Also, many
Universities, schools, and colleges will be starting the new year of learning
whether you are moving up a year or staying where you are.
My name is Sara Jane Gorman, I have disabilities
and mental health problems myself, including Autism, epilepsy, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Anxiety
and Depression.
This used to be a visiting lecture on Learning disability and Mental health awareness. It is for those who are involved in the lives of people with learning disabilities and mental health issues or who work or study in the field.
Whether you are a parent, family member,
carer, social worker, teacher, tutor, lecture, support worker, doctor, nurse,
Career advisor, Employment officer, Housing officer or any other professional
who may teach, train or and support, care for people who face disability and
mental health.
What is a learning
disability? A learning disability is a disorder to the brain, body, or both,
which happen before, during, or and after birth. This may affect how someone
learns but different people who face learning disabilities face how they affect
them in different ways. However,’ they face strengths and weaknesses in
different ways like other people to one another. What is different to other
people, we may be slower, and we may need more help and support with such as
say doing shopping, paying bills, getting a job, housework, somewhere to live
etc.
Most people may need help with personal care
for e.g., cutting nails, hair, washing, bathing, showering, dressing, etc.
These difficulties faced by someone in a wheelchair, walking or and hidden
disabilities. https://www.mencap.org.uk/learning-disability-explained/what-learning-disability

Learning
disability, learning difficulty and mental health, mental ill health most
people often get confused with all five of those.
Such conditions as
Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD can affect peoples’ learning ability where for example,
they may need support with keeping up with everyone else in the classroom or
and work force, which is a learning difficulty. https://www.mencap.org.uk/learning-disability-explained/learning-disability-and-conditions/learning-difficulties
A learning
disability is when someone struggles with more personal skills like I said
about managing at home, trying to get education, a job, etc. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/odep/initiatives/ndeam
Most people with a
learning disability may struggle to get the health care they need due to being misunderstood
because they may struggle to explain what are facing and what they are not. They
may struggle to say how they feel what sort of pain they may be facing for example.
https://www.mencap.org.uk/learning-disability-explained/communicating-people-learning-disability
They may struggle
to communicate with others in all sorts of situations, but health is one of
them.
Mental health is Emotional
wellbeing. You do not need to face a learning disability to face mental ill
health. However,’ most people with a learning disability face poor mental ill
health. Neither one is linked to the other. When comes Mental health it can be
when your Mental health is good and you have less things to feel sad about,
angry about etc. Poor mental health meaning mental ill health is when you are
feeling sad, angry a lot about different things, it does not necessary mean but
may be such Anxiety, Depression. For example, someone feeling Anxious, worried,
angry, sad, crying a lot etc. https://www.mencap.org.uk/blog/whats-difference-between-learning-disability-and-mental-health-problem
Mental health is
how we think, feel, behave, even or moods, how we act and even react to our
lives around us whether it is in a positive or negative way. Really without
realizing it, Mental health is something we all face in different ways from our
childhood, teenage years, adults, middle-aged and elderly. In many cases how life is around us can make
us the people we are, which what has happened our family, school, work home
etc. Family history, Trauma, Abuse. https://www.samhsa.gov/mental-health https://www.samaritans.org/
