Today marks the start of Learning Disability Week, with this year's theme being 'Art and Creativity'. This week is important for raising awareness and promoting understanding - We all have a role to play in breaking down misconceptions about what people with learning disability can do and highlighting the stigma that they still face every day. People with learning disabilities are twice as likely to suffer from low self-esteem and confidence, social exclusion, and bullying than others, leading to mental health problems. At Mount Street, we believe in the power of diversity and inclusion and promote a society that values the unique abilities of each individual. #LDWeek #MountStreet #LearningDisabilities #ArtandCreativity #Inclusion #DiversityAndInclusion
