information SERVICE DETAILS

It is well understood that adults living with disability experience mental health inequality, now exacerbated by the pandemic. That is why we wanted to develop "Wellbeing Wednesdays'' as a regular feature in our programme in response to deterioration to mental health and loneliness, experienced by adults with disabilities.

All activities included in this proposal are in line with two get2gether’s organisational objectives, to reduce social isolation of adults with disabilities and increase emotional awareness of our members.

Activities include:

- Mindfulness walks’ in person events take place at fully accessible outdoor spaces, such as Duddingston community garden and Portobello prom. Person-centred Solution Focused integrative approach, implementing models of mindfulness therapy to support the wellbeing of people with disabilities.

- Monthly LGBT spaces’, which include everything from ‘Coming out event’ to ‘Being Trans’ as well as working with LGBT Health & Wellbeing to create pathways for our members to engage with the wider LGBT community.

- Seated exercise’ - led by our member with lived experience of a disability, both in person and online, Developing

- ‘Men's (mental) health’, led by people with a lived experience of a disability, both in person and online

and much much more!
