People with Mental Health problems and behaviour problems.

What the government says.

Help people stay in Wolverhampton instead of been send away to homes, hospitals and etc.

People should have a Person Centred plan to balance there choice, control and support. We have worked hard to set up a Person - centred plan service. After all that there's not a Person Cenrted plan service in Wolverhampton.

We need to be flexible about how we give psychological support.

We need to give better access to psychological therapies.

We need to find out reasons for behavior problems.

Help people in lots of ways not just with medicines. A lot of behaviour problems can be boiled down to LD, Mental Health problems, Mental illnesses or side affects of medication. There needs be more research on the causes of behaviour problems.

These causes can cause misunderstanding for people who wouldn't commit crimes on purpose, only due to LD or Health problems of some sought. Most people may get angry if they find it hard to put their point a across to people.

People need to understand that if different people are giving them different advice to one thing, that can make them angry.

If they aren't listened to by people around them that won't make it any easier to communicate with them.

Try finding yourself locked up in a cell completely unaware of the reasons why you are there.

I can understand the shocking grief for victims, families, friends and loved ones. No one is saying that there's excuses for any crime but we there needs be more research on people with problems that cause them to be the way they are.

In some people's cases we may need to be looking into places, support and care that is accessible to their needs but keeps them out of trouble. Health staff need to be looking into the right treatment that keeps or and makes these people stable and calm.


Make sure that Mental Health hospitals treat people as individuals.

Assessments people's problems and needs in order to give them what's right to their needs.

Home treatment team can be very helpful. However sometimes we find it hard to work in Mental Health services. We don't do enough psychological Work. Please call Cliff Hawkins for more information on this 01902 444326 Cliff.Hawkins@wolvesspct.nhs.uk

It could have happened to you.

You need to think about how about if you needed extra support in everything you want, need and do. For example cooking, washing, dressing, reading, writing, cleaning, shopping and so the list goes on forever. ( How would you cope and feel?)
Everyone has different kinds of disabilities. Each disability can make peoples' lives hard in different ways. People can get more than one disability not everyone has the same ones.

Theses disabilities can happen before, during or after birth.

People with LD hate asking for help all the while as much as it much be very hard work for you to help us. Sadly one way or another we need your support whether we like it or not. Neither you or us are to blame for our disabilities, that's just how curl life can be. Let's not let life knock us back, let's get on with it.
We want you to stop to think about if you were us and we were you. ( How would you feel and cope?) The bottom text before answering the question I have just asked.

These are the things people with LD have to face.

Not been able to learn as quick as you.

Not been able to face too many things going on at once.

Easily get confused with too much jargon and information.

There's a limit of what we can do with, without support or and not at all.

On the good side we achieve things slowly.

Some of us can't read but the ones that can have problems with talking information and reading long words that we can jargon words.

Some people can't write but the ones who can have problems with spelling, grammar and etc.

We could have bad co-coronation problems like Dyspraxia.

Numbers for example solving problems.

Not been able to write essays and assignments on time for college or and school.

We may also need help in starting a topic, making sense of it and proof reading it.

On the bright side.

Most people with LD are creative. For example I didn't realize that I could write my life story and short stories until I was 23, even though I have had very limited dyslexia support. When I was 27 I started writing poetry, yet when I was in school I couldn't learn anything. 11 of my poems have been published one each in a book. which amazed me. I have written a Newsletters with support and plus report the Compton Hospice Newsletter where used do work experience.

There people with LD who are famous, here some of them. You could google Famous people with learning disabilities and see what comes up.If you see the names of the people I write down, try to find out what kind of disabilities they have got.
