An accessible guide for people with learning disabilities and their allies on finding friendships and love.
Author: Kay Mills
Love - in all its many forms - is the most important of the keys to citizenship. On our own we can do nothing. But with family, friends or a loving partner we are stronger and able to face life's challenges. This is true for all of us.
And, we are often too embarrassed to talk about love and friendship. We hope it will emerge naturally, but then we don't take the steps that help it emerge. You can't find friends stuck at home. You can't fall in love without a partner and times for privacy and intimacy. You can't be part of the community if you don't get an opportunity to meet anyone in the community.
This beautiful and ground-breaking guide to friendship written by Kay Mills, breaks through the embarrassment and coyness to offer practical advice and inspiration. We love it!
