LEARNING DISABILITIES NEWS

Many people provide care to another person. You don’t need to be a paid carer to be identified as such.

If you believe you are a carer for another person, we would like to know.

Please contact reception and request that your notes are identified as a carer so that we can provide any extra support and contacts that you  may find useful.

There are times when a helping hand is useful and we may be able to help you find resources to deal with life’s ups and downs.

If you are struggling with your mental health,  housing, caring or  welfare, we will do our best to help you.

You may find a referral to our team of social prescribers helpful, or sign posting towards one of the community or on line services and projects available.

Please speak to any member of our team in confidence and help us to help you.
