This group is for people with disabilities, mental health, other problems, and people in their lives such as parents, family, carers, service users social workers, friends, parents, tutors, teachers, nurses, doctors, and all the in the disability and mental health field, qulatifcated, trained and at all levels of training and studying.

It is a support, awareness, mentoring counseling, advocacy and even coaching group all in one on all topics such as health, education, employment, home support housing, all and more. More information is on the description, website link as well as on pinned posts.

Sorry for the innocence the change may have caused. To start with it was making friends and things we like doing in groups, hobbies, interests, careers, etc. Either no or little interest is taken in that the topic is still included in case there are people who want to take an interest in that topic.

The no pming or friend request rule is still placed unless you ask and have someone's permission or and if you know them or and if you are already added as a friend or and pming each other already.

This rule is in so we don't get complaints off people reporting pms off people who don't expect to pm them. Admin's rights are the same as members but if you are reporting a problem with someone in the group something in the group. Ask for Admin on the group, don't pm them straight off ask on the group first. Let us know if there is a problem. The admin who sees your message will either pm you, another admin, or me. Do not say what the problem is on the group, you can let us know you're facing a problem, say to whichever one of us PMs you. Proof of problem is helpful if you can provide it so we can see clearly if it is the fault of a person who it is, we don't want to block and remove anyone who hasn't done wrong.

Do you face disabilities, mental health, or other problems if so what?

What is the reason for joining this group, making friends, chatting sharing, hobbies interests, good thins or both reasons?
