Welcome @SarahL !
I hark from Yorkshire too
and my brother, who was severe learning disability, still lives there with our folks.
One thing I love about the family hub is that it has a dedicated thread for siblings!
It would be great to reach out to family members who wouldn’t normally use the internet to seek support - people who aren’t on social media, aren’t using facebook groups or following twitter threads. I think they could really benefit from a forum like this, that’s easy to use and separate from other spaces. I wonder if there needs to be a different way of advertising this - perhaps by making links with local authorities, GPs, learning disability nurses, support workers etc.
It would be great to see the family hub as a place recommended by health and social care professionals as a place to seek peer support e.g. when a stressed parent carer visits the GP.
Welcome to the family hub and I look forward to seeing it grow!
Best wishes
Frances
