It is likely that due to disability most people are likely to face poor mental health problems due to most peoples’ point of view when they hear about people with disabilities struggling in life but that is not all reasons why most people with disabilities face mental health problems. https://www.mencap.org.uk/learning-disability-explained/research-and-statistics/health/mental-health

 

 Most people struggle to realize, that people with disabilities face positives in our lives as well as negatives, we have strengths as well as weaknesses. We all need the right support but some of us need more support than others. More awareness is needed on positives in disabilities and mental health problems. Otherwise, most people with disabilities are likely to think negatively of ourselves even more so. Examples of strengths arts, talents hobbies, interests, careers, etc. https://hive.evenbreak.co.uk/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwheyUBhD-ARIsAHJNM-NLW68oB82ipdQZHiiBMbCH2BuHLXtTlEPXxANoyM7CG-WmAVJKOxQaAt0bEALw_wcB
