Advocates for Personal Potential (APP), Donegal

Submitted by magpie on 27 November, 2009 - 16:41

Advocates for Personal Potential Training Services (APP) was initially established in Ballyshannon, Co Donegal in 2004 to develop a person centred approach to the social and vocational rehabilitation of people who suffered from or have experienced a breakdown in their mental health status.

An expansion of our services in 2006 to Letterkenny, Co Donegal resulted in the successful development/commencement of a programme to assist the needs of adults with aspergers using our person centred approach.

Gary, suicide bids, and inside the mind of a young man with Asperger's [dailymail.co.uk]

A few years ago, I opened a new unit at a weekly residential centre for adults with autism and Asperger's Syndrome. Because of my visit, some of their parents had been invited.

Normally, the residents would be collected on a Friday and taken home for the weekend, but because this was midweek, their parents and carers were to leave without them.

" It’s easy to see when something’s wrong with us physically. But what about our mental health?

If people don’t even notice you’ve got a problem, they’re not going to offer to help.

Mental health is something we all have and it is something we should take steps to protect in the same way we guard our physical health.

If you can get your head in the right place then you’ve got the strength to handle anything life throws at you.".
