This document discusses coping with spinal cord injuries. It notes that spinal cord injuries cause major life changes and normal emotional responses like depression, anxiety, and anger. While responses are individual, negative assumptions about disability must be overcome. Stress and stress reactions to the injury are also normal, but can become unhealthy if the situation is not managed. The relationship between thoughts, feelings, and actions is important, and it is crucial to take action by identifying stress sources, getting information, actively coping, thinking, planning, and getting support. With time, acceptance, and realistic thinking, people can learn to manage their disabilities and resume control over their lives.

Finally, it proposes using an emotional tapping technique to reduce stress levels associated with debt amounts and thoughts of lack.

The Helping Hands project run by the National Deaf Children's Society aims to set up peer support schemes for deaf young people aged 10-18 in schools. The peer support schemes involve training students to act as "Peer Buddies" who can help new students settle in, listen to experiences, and provide academic support. Peer support is important for deaf children who are more likely to experience isolation, bullying, and mental health issues without proper support. The NDCS will provide training to Peer Buddies and support to teachers to implement the peer support schemes.
