The Psych Twins

We are two mature psychology students, both of us are married with children. Between our two families there are a number of disabilities ranging from physical to mental. Our mission is to raise awareness and funds for various local northeast charities and causes, who are suffering from lack of funding and promotion.  We also want to open a Center in Sunderland that would offer help, advice and counselling/ therapy free for any one and their families , adults or children in the North East  who are disabled , whether it is a mental health issue, physical disability, amputee, wheelchair user, ASD, ADHD etc. We want to offer  a drop in center for advice such as  whats on in the area that is suitable for them, help that is available that they might not know about or just to  pick up leaflets or application forms for  services or help such as the Cinema card, attending a festival or looking at starting work or going to University. But we also want to offer kids activities free such as support groups for parents with children who have ADHD or ASD for example where they can come and met and talk to people in the same situation while the children have fun doing activities or party or a sensory room. Support groups for amputees etc again where they can get together with others who are in the same situation and can support each other and not feel isolated. Also offer help applying for benefits etc but also offering counselling/ therapy for those people who need that extra one on one support.  

Currently we are blogging about our personal experiences with our own and our children's issues along with providing online forums for people to share tips, experiences and general support for each other.
