Think, Feel, Belong Update

We are operating weekly calls for people with learning disabilities and/ or autism who have wellbeing and/ or mental health needs, in Reading

Think, Feel, Belong has been created for people with learning disabilities and/ or autism who have wellbeing and/ or mental health needs, are socially isolated, at risk of crisis, or are otherwise vulnerable in Reading

Although weekly sessions cannot happen due to COVID-19, we are still here for you. If you live in Reading and would like to socialise over the phone, we are operating calls on a weekly basis. We are also offering video calls if people have the technology or contact through email.

We can provide relaxation techniques, mindfulness, breathing exercises, a talking group and opportunities to discuss how you are feeling.

To participate in the weekly calls, please contact Sue by email: sue.pigott@talkback-uk.com

We will organise a time and date for you, to suit your needs
