Inclusion supports better Mental Well-Being

There is no worse feeling than that of being excluded. Human beings are creatures. We need people, not just to help us survive but to allow us to live fulfilling lives. We surround ourselves with others, and to acquire acceptance, attention and a sense of belonging from them, we often look for common ground. Connection and mutual understanding can be easier to build when we see ourselves reflected in them.

Danielle Brown MBE, a nasen patron, talks about how inclusion can support and develop mental wellbeing. This article is taken from a 2020 edition of nasen Connect.
