#NWalesHour You can’t beat hearing about deserved support during the hour
It's all about making the books as accessible as possible, something of which I am passionate about creating for obvious reasons. I'm really excited about this and so grateful to everyone involved for making this a reality.

Read about this author & thought we'd share: @AuthorSamMax, from Wrexham, has published two books, 'CP Isn't Me' & 'Disabling Ableism', hoping to #breakthestigma associated with #disability. Her third book proposes to analyse the relationship between #disability & #mentalhealth

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay – a day to raise awareness about mental health and show everyone that mental health matters 🌍💜 If anyone in #Wrexham is struggling or if you’re concerned for the wellbeing of a friend or loved one, the NHS 111 helpline is there for you. #WMHD24
Reducing waiting times, including for mental health support and treatment, is a key priority for us. If you or someone you know needs urgent mental health support, call 111 and press OPTION 2. Anyone can call, for free, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. #MentalHealthDay

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Today may be #WorldMentalHealthDay but it’s important to remember support is available all year round. #WMHD24 @MindCymru

We are seeing yet more divisive media reports about disabled people and the welfare system. Promoting the idea that life on disability benefits is a choice - lucrative even – is dangerous. It fuels distrust and negative attitudes towards disabled people.

Ah, ‘normal’ 🙃 It isn't the compliment people think it is because ‘disabled’ isn’t a look. It says that disability, and disabled people, aren't 'normal'. Sometimes, it even sounds like you don’t believe the person saying they’re disabled. Besides, invisible conditions exist!

When we think about disability inclusion, social opportunities may not be the first thing that comes to mind. This is why it is crucial that we have awareness and access to services that give people with disabilities a chance to socialise in a safe and supportive environment.
In @harrygeorgiou07 's recent #ThoughLeadership article, he highlights the needs of young #disabled individuals to live happily beyond the #workplace by accessing more #SocialOpportunities. Read more bit.ly/3MO66mn #Inclusion #Disability #WorkLifeBalance
