What about your sewing? Does that help you to focus on you for a while and get some time out of your situation? Self care can be anything that takes your mind out of your situation.

I think the idea is to motivate each other through the course. To discuss what we learn.
Perhaps if all the people in the thread were happy we could work through together. As in OnlyAlex, Chloe and me. Is there a thread set up where you can chat about the course in the forum?

Julie86 started the topic Mental Capacity in the forum Community Chat 1 year, 9 months ago

How does the whole mental capacity work? I have reason to believe my council are treating me like I don’t have mental capacity. I have discussed it with my GP and he agrees they are treating me like I don’t have mental capacity.

Julie86 started the topic Split or Joint Funding in the forum Community Chat 1 year, 10 months ago

I have been awarded split / joint funding. 10% nhs and 90% council.
Does anyone know how this will manifest?
I have a care agency coming in one day per week.
Will anything change?

I feel a lot of the assessments are designed to catch us out. And the way legislation can be taken the way the councils decides makes it harder for us. We are like Chloe said tonight just a number.

Julie86 replied to the topic Safe space in the forum Wellbeing Programme 1 year, 10 months ago

I took it to mean an imaginary place. As it was near Easter when I read this chapter I decided my safe space at that time was sat on the hill in front of the cross. My safe space may change through out the year. I just need to remember to go to my safe space when everything is getting too much.

Hi, I have finally been on you tube and found biscuit land. I am a little puzzled by the time and task. In my area assessments are no longer done using the time and task approach. Assessments are done based on a Strength based approach. So a social worker asks you what your strengths are and then suggests ways your strengths can be used to meet…[Read more]
