This group is for people with disabilities, mental health problems, and long-term or lifetime conditions who want to try to make friends with members the same if not similar to themselves. This is not a dating group, but we do not interfere with what happens, so don't bring it into the group. However,' your safety and privacy matter so feel free to report any problems on and off the group from people in this group with proof, more information will be on the pinned post and my website link. 

No porn, hacking, buying, selling either.

No personal information on the group such as home addresses, personal phone numbers, email addresses, no passwords. We advise if you give personal information, only on private messages, if you have known people long enough, those you can trust. Please be careful, any problems please feel free to report them to us, with proof so don't block and remove them from the group by mistake no one is blocked who hasn't done anything wrong. Just to let you know videos are allowed that are safe to show.

Purpose, advice, and safety guarding.

To try and make friends you need to write a brief message to introduce yourself. For example, my name is Fred Blogs, I am 21 and I come from London. I like playing football and I am a gardener. Like our other group, we have a private message and friend request rule. It is your choice whether or not you want to give people permission to pm or friend request you and the same for them towards you, please respect one another, if someone doesn't want to get involved with you or you don't it is our job or and theirs to respect and accept that. However,' this is a friendship group for disabled people and other problems only.

Again, like our other groups unless you know someone or you know someone is alright about PMing or and friend requesting ask their permission first, do not contact them unless they say yes, and they will have to request you the same too. There will be plenty of other people on the group and others joining too be patient and remember not everyone thinks the same. Feel free to add a selfie with your message if you like but make sure it is clean and safe.

Feel free to chat on the group, post hobbies, interests, etc. Just to say as well, it is fine to try and make friends without private messaging or friend requests if you wish to do so, those who think otherwise need to respect and accept your choice and theirs. Some people may be just happy to post, chat, etc. on the group.

This group is for people with disabilities, mental health problems, and term or lifetime conditions who want to try to make friends with members the same if not similar to themselves. This is not a dating group, but we do not interfere with what happens outside of the group so don't bring it into the group. However,' your safety and privacy matter so feel free to report any problems on and off the group from people in this group, more information will be on pinned post and my website link.

 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/
