Powys People First

Powys People First helps to organise self-advocacy groups for people with a learning disability across Powys.
Self-advocacy is when you speak up for yourself.

[Coronavirus and Learning Disability Study @CoronavirusLD]

What happened to support for people with learning disabilities during lockdown? The amount of support substantially reduced. People with learning disabilities/ their family-carers/paid supporters reported that community activities had stopped or reduced for almost everyone.

What a fabulous morning! We trialled having Choircats outside and on Zoom 😁😁😁

It was brilliant, the sun was shining, everyone was smiling and we all maintained social distance.

Lovely story about the power of social prescribing - shifting from prescribing drugs to prescribing kindness exercise and social interaction. We should stop doing this in a piecemeal way across Wales and just roll it out https://t.co/or9gso2zLk
