Living with an invisible disability is a silent struggle, one that is often met with doubt, judgment, and unsolicited advice. The absence of visible symptoms often leads others, sometimes even friends or family, to minimise or dismiss the very real impact such conditions have on daily life. This ableist mindset can be harmful, especially when it’s cloaked in “concern” or feigned expertise.
Hate crime is a violation of human rights and a crime against the very values of equality, dignity, and respect. It tears communities apart and leaves victims in emotional ruins. Society must come together to condemn hate, strengthen the law, and support victims. Most importantly, we must remember that diversity is our strength, and no one should be made to feel unsafe for simply being who they are.
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.
Before you type, think twice—behind every article is a human trying their best. Negative comments have consequences, especially for those already battling mental health challenges.
Starting the day with intentional routines establishes a foundation for sustained energy and focused attention that extends far beyond the morning hours. By harmonizing the body’s natural cycles and mental capacities, mornings have a special ability to affect the remainder of the day.
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.
To truly support vulnerable families, we must see poverty for what it is—a pervasive risk factor that influences every other domain of a child’s life. More than just economic deprivation, poverty reduces access to opportunity, stability, and wellbeing. Investing in early intervention, social work training, disability inclusion, and long-term support for care leavers and young carers is essential.
Even if others say “It was so long ago” — your pain is still real. Your nervous system may have held onto that trauma as a silent passenger all these years. But healing is not a deadline — it’s a journey.
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.
The UK government’s approach to disability rights, mental health legislation, and human rights law is cause for serious concern. These policies, when combined, could lead to a society where disabled individuals are stripped of their autonomy, denied financial support, and placed under state control. If we do not act now, we risk allowing history to repeat itself. The rights of disabled people must not be sacrificed in the name of cost-cutting measures. It is time to push back against policies that prioritize financial savings over human dignity.
