Disabled entrepreneurs often speak of empowerment, community, and visibility. Many position themselves as champions for inclusion and mental health awareness. But what happens when these very individuals, your LinkedIn connections, your supposed allies, ignore your messages, dismiss your contributions, and ghost your professional outreach without so much as an acknowledgment?
Trauma is not one-size-fits-all. For some, it heals. For others, it becomes their lifelong companion. It’s not about being weak, it’s about having seen and felt too much. It’s about carrying a weight that no one else can see.
Though trauma may never fully disappear, it can transform into strength. By understanding its roots, recognising how it impacts the mind and body, and gently working toward recovery, survivors can reclaim their lives. The editor is a testament to this. Through her pain, she has cultivated purpose, using her lived experience to educate, support, and inspire others who feel lost in the shadows of trauma and mental illness. Her message is clear: you are not alone.
Disability and poverty are deeply intertwined, and when they co-exist, the barriers multiply. Families with disabled children are more likely to experience financial hardship, social exclusion, and mental health challenges, yet they often receive the least support. According to recent research, including findings from The Childhood Trust, the cost of living crisis has placed even more strain on already stretched services, making it harder for social workers to meet the needs of families with disabled children.
When a system structurally excludes, misjudges, or punishes people with fluctuating disabilities, it is not just morally unjust — it may also be legally non-compliant. Disabled individuals and advocacy groups have a strong basis to argue that the PIP framework, as currently implemented, fails to meet legal standards of fairness, equality, and dignity.
Harassment refers to repeated, unwanted behavior that causes alarm or distress. This can include threatening messages, abusive phone calls, or unwelcome visits. Stalking goes a step further—it’s a pattern of fixated and obsessive behavior that causes someone to feel fearful or anxious. It can include following someone, monitoring their movements, or contacting them despite being asked to stop.
A miscarriage of justice is not just a legal blunder—it’s a human tragedy. It strips innocent people of their freedom, identity, and dignity, often leaving permanent psychological wounds that never fully heal.
If your benefits have stopped, you’ve been sanctioned by the DWP, or you’ve lost your job, this essential guide explains what steps to take immediately. Learn how to apply for hardship payments, appeal decisions, deal with creditors, and access emergency financial support and legal help during a crisis.
Depression doesn’t happen without cause. It’s not a weakness or a choice — it is a reaction to pain, pressure, and often unimaginable hardships. Understanding the many reasons why someone may be suffering is the first step toward compassion, not judgment. Whether the cause is trauma, genetics, loss, or societal pressures, every person fighting depression deserves understanding, support, and the knowledge that their pain is real — and that healing is possible. Everyone’s journey is different, but no one should have to walk it alone.
Mental health awareness has gained rightful prominence in society, so therapy dogs serve as more than friendly pet companions. Business owners who want to balance their drive with emotional strength should consider four-legged therapists who can lead them toward peace, focus, and resilience. The science backs it. The stats prove it. The stories support it. And the wagging tails? They speak for themselves.
