First of all, I am sorry for how many websites to this group but this is an in one group where I am trying to cover everything for everyone's need on the group, which I admit I cannot promise to do but I will do my best.
Since the lockdown Mental health has grown hugely at the start of May I wrote website links raising awareness of Mental health. No one is forced to talk but no one is forced not to talk either. Every mind matters and everyone matters.
In this group, I understand for everything I put on not necessary anyone will use so don't feel you have to because you may see lots of things but they are there just in case.
Lockdown has been a huge change in everyone's life but when you face disabilities, mental health, and or other problems even more so. No one is saying the lockdown was wrong because health and safety are important but people have had to have been taken away from their normal life which is an increased risk to Mental health. No one is saying it was wrong most places were closed but we know it's been the same for other people as well but some have been working from home etc.
- a person’s condition with regard to their psychological and emotional well-being."All this pressure seems to be affecting his mental health"
Mind Infoline is open 9am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. We're closed outside of those hours. But there are people you can talk to any time: call Samaritans on 116 123 (UK-wide)
However' this can be the same for people with disabilities, mental health or and other problems but not for all, some have lost or and had changes in their support, not everyone is able to access things online with support, some have, some haven't, some in some things but not in others. The longer the lockdown has gone the more peoples' Mental health has increased. Now are in hope that the lockdown is easing as more people are having the vaccine. Everyone knows life is not going to be the same as it was before lockdown but things are moving forward in some way. However's when facing disabilities, mental health, and or other problems that's always there however life treats us. Awareness needs to keep raising whatever does and doesn't happen. https://www.rethink.org/get-involved/awareness-days-and-events/mental-health-awareness-week/ https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/
This not always easy for everyone who faces Mental health, as Mental health affects different people in different ways just like everything really. Our advice is to try doing things you enjoy, which may be arts' crafts, quizzes, word searches, talents, careers, watching films, reading books, exercise, relaxation, etc.
Another tip is but it's up to you don't need to socialize and make friends with people from the group off the group pm etc, if you feel safer talking to people etc on the group only that's fine, then Admins can see if there are any problems and we will do something about it.
It is completely your choice, your not force to socialize but we have safety tips and advice to try to help you keep safe.
No personal information on the groups and if you do pm, make sure you ask their permission first to ask if they are okay with and if they want to pm you, they need to ask you if you don't know one another and you not on one another profile, pming one another already.
What you do away from the group is not our rights or business but our advice is if you get to know people on the group off the group, pm, etc don't give one another contact details until you get to know one another.
When getting to know one another there are no promises etc friendship isn't going to work. It is understandable due to safety you may want to stay clear of socializing but we do our best to keep you safe in case you want to try.
Please feel free if you face problems with anyone in the group. It doesn't always happen but sometimes some things are not meant to be, not what we think, etc.
If you face problems with people on our group, on the group, pm please feel free to report it to us but please provide proof so we see clearly who's in the wrong then we will either deal with them, block them, or both.
We would advise you to block their messages, block them from your profile if you happen to be added as a friend to them but if the proof of the problem is either on your profile or pm, show us first before you block them.
Because not everyone knows each other, unless you know either, one of us or all and added as a friend to some, one of us, etc and know that Admin doesn't mind you contacting them, then write a message on the group, if the Admin who sees your message on the group doesn't deal with the problem they will ask another Admin or me to do so.
If you have given them your contact details while been friends with them we would advise changing your contact details.
Just to say not that anyone will our group is not a dating group but it is none of our business what happens outside our group, pm, etc but we would advise you to go by our safety tips and advice, which we cannot promise it will help you 100 per but we will do our best. Don't get me wrong if anyone becomes a couple on the group this doesn't mean you are both unwelcome but please be how you have always been before becoming a couple. Of course fine to tell people in the group if you both so wish but respect everyone else in the group all the same and keep private life private.
Just remember For disabilities & all problems and awareness every day is a private group, meaning people on the group can see what you say, post, etc but people who not in the group don't.
If you would like to try and get to know people we would advise writing a brief induction on the group about yourself. For example, my name is Fred Blogs from London. Do not write your home address or other personal details. You may want to say if you have any hobbies, a career, etc for example but nothing personal. Just remember have their own chooses, we don't and cannot force people to reply to you if they don't choose to. Remember as I said before different people are there for different reasons not everyone is there to socialize. Most people have disabilities, mental health, or and other problems others are involved in the lives of those people such as parents, family. carers, social workers, support workers, professionals, etc, most people with disabilities, mental health, or and other problems may want to socialize but not those who support them, etc.
However' sure more professional etc, may not mind you pming them if you ask them but not for socializing reason but say advice on careers, etc depending which field they work in, etc but please ask them first don't just pm someone on the member list random who you don't know. You may not know their name but you could ask for example if there's anyone on the group that supports disabilities etc finding careers for example.
Now to reasons to what I said it's not promised that people in the group will want to socialize because this group is around all topic but you can always ask us for websites, information online, etc, if tap into the FB there may be other disabled social groups, etc. However, some people may be in the group for more than one reason.
