Hi , my name is Deborah , i am a support worker for mencap , and have been for the last 5 years , I work with adults who have learning disabilities and quite complex needs , but I have to say … yes there are days when it would be quite easy to throw in the towel and walk away , but those days are rare ! … it’s a great job which offers fantastic opportunities for myself and the people who I support , one last thing …
I also have a sister with learning disabilities who lives in mencap supported living , so I am in a unique position of being both support staff and a relative as well .

Hi, my name is Louise and I live in North Yorkshire with my partner and one year old son.
My son is currently undiagnosed and to say its easy would be a lie.
My son has Hypotonia has developmental delay. He also has ONH and was diagnosed with epilepsy the day after his first birthday.
We are currently awaiting results from various tests (MRI, Lumbar Puncture, Genetics, the list goes on)
I dont really know what I expect to achieve from joining this forum, but thought Id give it a go!
Hello to all!
