Mental Health Awareness Week 2017

Celebrating Disabled Mothers
On 26th March, it is Mother’s Day. A day when people celebrate the role of mothers. A day when we recognise the contribution that these women make to our lives. There are many disabled women around the world who find ways to overcome their difficulties and still run happy families. So I thought it would be important to celebrate the lives of these women.

However, people with a wider range of needs require support to learn to get around and this is often delivered through lessons called Travel Training.
