World Mental Health Day
For world mental health day, we are shining a light on the problems of recognising mental health problems in people with Learning Disabilities. One of the biggest problems we find is that our citizens get caught between different services without proper diagnosis. 
CASBA launches new website for Education is Special Project
We are delighted to launch our new website for the National Lottery Heritage Fund supported Education is Special project. This gives us a platform with information about special education and the schools we're working with,. It will expand greatly as the project progresses so that we can share everything we learn over the next year. Please have a look at: www.educationisspecial.co.uk Take this short quiz for our Education is Special project
One of the key tasks in a heritage project about Learning Disabilities is to see what people already know about the subject and how you can add to that knowledge with your research. So, for our Education is special project, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, we are asking people to take this short quiz to see how much they know. It should only take about 2 minutes to complete and we hope it'll be fun and interesting. Find out more about the project here. | |||||
CASBA's first Freedom Project course
Eight women completed CASBA's first Freedom Project course this spring and the feedback about it has been great.
"I feel like me again", "This has really boosted my confidence" and "All women should do this course" are just a few of the comments we've had from participants. We'll be running our specially adapted version for women with Learning Disabilities again later this year, so if you'd like to join, contact Jo or Debbie.
You can find details of the other training courses we run here.
