Before You Read on.

 

Before we begin, I just want to let you know something important.
Even though this book is called Special Needs, Learning Difficulties, Disabilities, and Mental Health Awareness, it also includes people who experience mental illness, even if they don’t have any other condition.

In this chapter (and throughout the book/ blog), I’ll be talking about how mental health, mental illness, and other conditions like learning difficulties or disabilities can sometimes be linked. But first, I want to help you understand mental health and mental illness on their own, one step at a time.

You might already know some of this—and that’s okay!
Please feel free to skip any parts you’re already familiar with.
We all know different things. Some parts might be new or tricky for one person, but easy for someone else—and that’s completely normal.
I’ll say this for the whole book: Take what you need, and skip what you don’t.

Everyone is at all different levels, and you will be reading blogs/books for all different reasons.

Sorry, I did not say all this to start with.

 

Like us all, I am still learning too, some things I already know from living with my learning difficulties, disabilities, and mental health problems, others I have researched from the internet and in books.
