ALWAYS LEARN ABOUT DISABILITY + NEVER JUDGE DISABILITY.

The Purpose of the group.

Welcome new members to our group, welcome to our group guys. Sorry our slow welcome and for the fact we haven't done a lot on here lately we have been so busy but we hope to catch up rather soon. Hope you enjoy the group. Please read the purpose of the pinned post, more information about the group on the website link attached to the pinned post and safety rules on the description, thank you. Sara Head Admin

This group is an awareness and Advocacy group rolled into 1 for those who face disabilities, health problems, Special needs, learning difficulties mental health, disorders, long-term conditions or and etc facing all emotional issues, Autism, Epilepsy, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia and other Learning Difficulties, Disabilities and other problems linked to them and all.

We all face Mental health issues in different ways so please except anything off anyone. Some people can feel down whether there's a reason not others can feel down for a reason, others no reason and others can vary. Most of our Admins have Mental health issues but could all in different ways so don't depend on us all the while as we manage a lot of groups and we have other lives as well but also try to be there for one another the best way you can.

in all walks and topics. Parents, families, friends, partners, carers, social workers, support workers, professionals or and etc are more than welcome too in levels and abilities, learning, training, trained or and quilifcated in the field of learning disability and other problems that link to it.

Please do not report anyone post, member or Admin, if feel there's a problem with someone's post make Admins aware on the group, whether it's a post don't like and for sure let us know if it's an unsafe post, then we will decide what to do about it, what happens will depend on what kind of post is. If you come across a post you don't like either skip it, let us know on the group or leave the group. If we are aware of who's responsible all ready, we will deal with it but please try to find proof of a person's name in case we weren't aware to start with, then most important to make sure we block and remove the right person responsible off the group, thank you.

Mental health can be linked to disabilities, other problems or even on it's own.

 Our intentions make this a big group with all topics of life but no one is forcing you to access them, we are for help and support if you ask us to but only by our skills and abilities. Just the same as our disability group what one of doesn't know we will ask the other or if none us knows we will either contact Admins on other groups like our or look online for websites, information, counseling or etc depending on how you feel about your situation. Don't get us wrong, please feel free to ask to pm us, reason why we say that is that some Admins may not feel happy about talking to people they don't know but they won't leave just like that, they will ask someone on our if there is anyone okay to pm you, if no one is I will pm you and ask you if you okay for me to pm admins on group like ours if you don't want to go for counseling or and etc.

 Everything is private between and the Admin who is pming you but if they are concerned about yours or and their health and safety or even someone else's you may be talking about then it will be just said to our team.

Here's a bit of my experience I had a breakdown in 1996 when I was 27 years old over a relationship break up, which lasted from October 96 to August 97, I was drinking heavily, I had counseling, then I started writing poetry. Found from one counselor yrs later I was facing Mental and Emotional Abuse. 

In May 2011, I lost my work with Mencap, couldn't find the right college course for me, I didn't find anything until March 2012.

Just in case there is ever a time no one is in the group, no one is trained or and etc, I will add some website links, contact details where you may get quicker reply than us as we can get very busy so if you can if you see someone in the group needing help anyway please try to do your best, feel free to pm but I can only be soon as I can be and I will search further help if myself or my team can't help.

Please feel free to ask you to PM, everything you say is private but if we have any concerns about your health or and safety will speak to another Admin our Admin team and if who replies to your message not trained or and qualified to help with what you're asking then we will find someone on the team or elsewhere who or where is.

You can post anything these topics on the purpose and ask Admins to talk or and support but some Admins may not want to or may not be trained. However' they will ask Admins on the team who may be about to if not if they don't know you but they will search for further help even it means us contacting other Admin from other groups the same or and not much different to us.

Free to ask to pm us, the reason why we say ask is that some Admins may not want to pm people they don't so please respect. However' if you have spoken to one of us or few on pm and that's anyone, in particular, you want to speak to again and the Admin fine about it, that's no problem. It doesn't mean you have to be feeling down, feel free to do so if you want to or need to if the Admin is okay with it, not they will try to find an Admin who will but search for further help if not. From my own experience, most of us feel down with or without a reason, just with a reason or just without one.
Please also respect that some Admins may be a bit wavy if they don't know people but they will ask others on the team or if no one knows we will search for further help, which could mean contacting Admins on groups not much different to ours. Also, here another list issues we deal with, which could post or and get support with if you need to.
Just to let you know so there's no misunderstanding of this private issues won't be posted on the group and please report it to us if you have told someone on you have pmed who you thought you could and if they have put it on the group.

Please do not report anyone post, member or Admin, if feel there's a problem with someone's post make Admins aware on the group, whether it's a post don't like and for sure let us know if it's an unsafe post, then we will decide what to do about it, what happens will depend on what kind of post is. If you come across a post you don't like either skip it, let us know on the group or leave the group. If we are aware of who's responsible all ready, we will deal with it but please try to find proof of a person's name in case we weren't aware to start with, then most important to make sure we block and remove the right person responsible off the group, thank you.

Just in case you are stuck what to talk about and or post-Halloween is near enough here. Just to let you know please feel free to advertise Halloween events during in the Halloween period, please do not advertise in any other topic only Halloween.

How do you feel about your life, how can you support people with disabilities, their families, carers etc with theirs?

Think about how your life is now, what you happy with, what your sad with, what needs to get better and how you feel you need help and support.

People with disabilities mostly need help with everyday skill, for eg; cooking, washing, ironing, shopping or and etc. Just like all of you each and every one of us is different, we are good and not so good at different things to think about how you would make life easy for us and support us.

How can you compare your life with the life of someone with a learning disability?

On whole people with disabilities are a bit slower to understand things but different people in different ways, how would you make their life easier or and support them?

It doesn't always work but you can try and see what support the person can get to achieve what they want and or need, then reassure the family, carer or and etc that the person won't be overpowered but won't be neglected either. 

DISABILITY FRIENDS, ALL NEEDS AND ABILITIES.

Welcome to DISABILITY FRIENDS, ALL NEEDS, AND ABILITIES.
Please help us improve this group be asking people you know but please don't add them if they say no.
Another way of making to group interesting is to post what interests you, some people with share your interest, this could be what you like watching on tv, your favorite music, arts, crafts or and etc.
Everyone has access to write even if you can't post videos, pictures or and etc.

If you want us to look online to see how you can post from your device to facebook groups please let us know and we will try and find out for you.
You don't have to get to know people unless you want, you can just chat to them on the group if you want.
If you don't want to chat to people on the group, you can still post your hobbies, interests etc, even see what everyone else is writing and posting.
No one is forced to do what they don't want to do but we are just trying to make the group more interesting by doing that we need you to help us to help you and future members who could join us.

This group is set up for people with all disabilities, health problems, mental health, disorders, difficulties, long-term conditions or and etc including Dyspraxia, to socialize in your own was whether it's friendships, relationships or and just chatting with the group. As long as you respect the choices of one another.

We are sorry the group is quiet as I have had to study to, also we run 7 groups besides this 1 and I have inexpertly had flu since last week. Let's not give up on life is what you make it please feel free to post on the group what it says in the purpose or and even chat to one another. Keep it safe and don't just leave up to the Admins to entertain not that we won't be on here posting but it's down to you as well as us. Please feel free to invite people you know but only added to if you have asked them and they have agreed to join and make us aware of it too, thank you. Sara Head Admin and creator of the group.

Feel free to introduce yourself, have a good time, play it safe, add photos as long as the post is clean and safe, no dirty or rude photos, add posts from youtube you may enjoy but please respect everyone's likes and dislikes.

Skip anything you don't for example if you someone adds add a wham singing on youtube and you don't like it, do not delete it.

However, if you think someone has added unsafe post show us proof and we will check it, get rid of the post and person if it is them and it's unsafe. Please be aware it's your responsibly on the group to what you say, although it's closed people in the group can see what you say. If you want to talk someone in private ask if you can pm them first but respect their wishes and choice if they say no. Keep your private life private.

Feel free to post things to do with general everyday chat, hobbies, interests, careers, social media, videos, anything you enjoy or and etc but think of the safety and respect of others in the group as well.

Things you could talk about if you wish, hobbies, interests, careers, social lives or and etc.

Remember this is a closed group, although people who are not in the group can't see your post people who are can so you are responsible to decide what is and isn't private to you.

If you want to pm someone always asks if you can 1st, don't just pm them when they don't except it.

How you communicate with people outside the group is your business but if you need any advice and tips for safety and that, of us please feel free to ask.

You are not forced to communicate with one another, that choice is up to you, you may feel safer chatting to one another in the group but that is up to you to decide that.

However' feel free to report anyone if anyone does cause you problems as long as you give us a name and we know we have blocked and removed the right person off the group, whether it's on the group or your pm.

Don't get us wrong to be fair, not many do but just a bit of safety advice, do not give out your personal details or anyone else's in the group such as email addresses, home addresses, phone numbers or and etc.

Please be patience with one another not everyone is online all at the same, you won't always find people in the group the same time as you are but times you will.

Hi all sorry if we sound harsh but we changed the name of this group a week ago and not a lot of action is on the group. We do our best to post and that as much as we can but it's also down you as well, which could be posting anything you like watching off youtube, arts, crafts, hobbies interests or and etc in writing or and post. Feel free to chat to one another but please keep it clean and safe. Please feel free to invite people you know but please do not add unless you have asked them and they agree to join and make us aware as well because to keep everyone safe on the group we will be checking profiles, thank you.

Also if you want to post and your finding it hard to post from your IT device as long as you give us the name of the device we may be able to find some instructions on how you can post on Facebook groups on your device, thank you Sara Head Admin and Creator of the group.

Also, Admins to have other lives and we have 7 other groups to run as well as this 1, life is what you make it so please feel free entertain one another, if you don't get replies right away you can always go onto other groups your on for a bit and come back on this 1to see if anyone has replied. Just because some people are members on there doesn't mean they are on the group a lot as they have other lives like you have, we have and everyone but you may find it will vary where other people will be on the group a lot. It's facebook group there are no set route or times, People are on and off there. By all mean post what it says in the purpose keep safe. We are not saying this to keep you on the group, we are saying what's true that Facebook is a worldwide social Media and no one has control when people are on and offline. Also, just because they are online they may not be on the group but someone else may well and they will be another time.

Also like we said in the rules please respect those already in relationship or marriage so if you please either no one is single here or and no is interested in you and if you would like to meet someone or maybe you haven't met any friends on here to what you, what you were hoping or any other reason, please feel to ask us for any websites or information online,

could be friendship or and dating sites, counselling or and etc for relationship breakups or any other emotion support reasons.

We ourselves may be helpfully from our own experience but bearing in mind each and every one us on the team have different skill so everything is private on pm but if we are concerned about your health and safety we will speak to members of our team if we are very concerned about you or if we are not trained or qualified to do what your asking for and if no one is we will search for further help like contacting Admins on groups not much different to ours.

Please do not report anyone post, member or Admin, if feel there's a problem with someone's post make Admins aware on the group, whether it's a post don't like and for sure let us know if it's an unsafe post, then we will decide what to do about it, what happens will depend on what kind of post is. If you come across a post you don't like either skip it, let us know on the group or leave the group. If we are aware of who's responsible all ready, we will deal with it but please try to find proof of a person's name in case we weren't aware to start with, then most important to make sure we block and remove the right person responsible off the group, thank you.
