Mental health resources

[Dalfie2020]

Hi, I just wanted to reach out to see if anyone knows of any easy read mental health resources for people with learning disabilities. Specifically on self esteem but others would also be helpful.

hi Dalfie2020 ill ask my brilliant art therapist on monday when i see her,if shes got any links to any good easy read,she developed my staff and me a easy read social stories booklet on coping with change. hwoever,

im just thinking but,if you woud like-as i dont mind whatsoever-i have official PECS software and can make some easy read files for you this weekend as ive got nothing on to do,i dont know what woud need saying about self esteem,ie what it even means-if you give me all the sentances youd like to see put in i can make some easy read word files for you,ive made easy read for SSW in scotland and an art gallery in london before butt that was using another form of pictorial called widgit-i no longer have a subscrition to that. anyway the offer is there.

Hi, thanks so much for the offer! I’d need to have a look into what I’d need it say first as I’m not too sure myself but will message once done. Thanks again for the offer that’s so kind of you.

Speak to your local library service mencap helpline and the carers association they may all have information that could help you.

Hello,

You may find some of these links useful, none are specifically about self esteem but there might be some useful ideas in them. Also the 5 ways to well-being approach (connecting, learning, noticing, giving and being active is a nice simple way of exploring how to improve psychological well-being :
