MEd, PGCE, BA Hons, Parent, Co-founder WeCanAccess Ltd I Senior Lecturer #accessibility #inclusion #Public speaker
A call to action when you interact with people today A few days ago I had the honour of giving a talk on 'Grief, Special Needs and How to Thrive' if I am brutally honest not only was I very nervous about giving the talk but it pushed me to my very limits, it caused me or perhaps enabled me to reflect upon my life, my struggles with my own neurodiversity, my own struggles with friends and family members who had and have a range of disabilities. Emma Bara and I set up WeCanAccess Ltd in order to enable us to thrive, in order for our kids to thrive and for families like ours who struggle every minute of every day due to the systemic failures due to processes, systems and gatekeepers. Where I am going with this, today when you meet with someone, email them and interact with them think very carefully about what the purpose of the meeting is, what they require from the interaction and for a moment, just for a moment think why are they communicating with you in the way they are are they deprived of sleep as they are carers, are they in pain which you do not know about, are they on medication they causes them to forget or act slower are they suffering from PTSD or something else. I ask each and everyone person who reads this to do one simple thing ENABLE people to thrive for you do not know what pain or trauma they have or are going through. #inclusion #accessibility Fareeha Syeda Ziyan https://lnkd.in/eCZxucqW
LIVE WEBINAR: "Grief, Special Needs, and How to Thrive" by David Bara! David Bara is the Director and CoFounder of WeCanAccess LTD, a social enterprise with a mission to enable people to access the world physically, socially, and economically - improving accessibility to the world around us.. On their journey of parenthood to a child with special needs, David and his wife Emma have met hundreds of families who are navigating through a world that isn't always designed for children like theirs. Hence they created WeCanAccess, where people with disabilities, their families and carers can find support, share ideas, and learn more about the field through accredited online courses. David is also Senior Lecturer Special Education at University of East London, and an editor of the Cogent Social Sciences Journal. This live webinar will take place on 8th January 2024, and is accessible to members of The Grower's Circle - an annual professional development membership for mental health practitioners.

🤔 Have you ever considered the role of schools in your child’s mental health? As a teacher turned mental health clinician-in-training, this question has been central to my journey. Can schools be the frontline in mental health education? Throughout my teaching career in NYC, the intersection of education and mental health became increasingly clear. Students’ academic performances are closely tied to their emotional well-being. Yet, the current education system often overlooks this connection. My shift towards mental health therapy is driven by a desire to change this narrative. The key? Integrating mental health education within the school curriculum. Schools need to be equipped with resources and training to address mental health proactively, not reactively. By doing so, we’re not only educating but also empowering our future generations. - - - I invite all small businesses, community organizations, and schools to join this vital mission. Together, we can make a lasting impact. 💻 Book an appointment today at https://lnkd.in/e4Bz4Ysw and let’s bring mental health education to the forefront of our schools.
