We also recognise that many people with learning disabilities are socially isolated so the group will offer the opportunity to have social interaction in a safe and supportive environment.

The group content will be provided by Nursing and AHP students under direct supervision and will be evidence-based. The group will cover:

• Personal Hygiene: Why it is important to look after yourself, including oral health
• Health screenings: A chance to understand what they are and why we should do them
• Keeping safe: How to keep ourselves safe when out and about but also online safety. How to make positive friendships and relationships
• Exercise: Each week there will be time to do some exercise and encouragement to continue this after the session

This is a 6-week course.

Carers/family members are welcome to come to the group to support the person with learning disabilities.

If you are working with or supporting a person who may benefit from attending this group, please talk to them or their carer about attending.
