Why do we need to talk about loneliness?
Everyone feels lonely sometimes. But for many people with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities, loneliness is a more common and painful experience.

Their families can feel lonely too, and feel cut off from support.

Loneliness can feel like different things:
– Not having a group of friends or a community to belong to.
– Not having a close, special person to share your feelings with.

Loneliness is a serious problem.

Loneliness is not just a sad feeling. It is bad for our health and happiness. It can make people feel anxious or depressed. It can also harm physical health.

The answer is real inclusion!
It’s about having good friendships and relationships. It’s the feeling of being valued and knowing you belong.

This is a problem we can solve, and ‘Together Against Loneliness’ is our call to action.
We want to talk about the problem of loneliness and how we help people feel connected and that they belong.

ORAL HEALTH FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS
Strong healthy teeth help children and teens eat well, speak clearly, discover new tastes, and
shine with confidence as they grow.
• Reinforce good oral health habits every day.
• Supervise toothbrushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste until your child can brush
properly on their own. Brushing before bedtime is especially important. Make sure
children aged 3–6 use only a pea-sized amount of toothpaste.
• Make sure they clean between their teeth at least once a day using floss or interdental
brushes, or as recommended by their dentist.
• Visit the dentist regularly to monitor tooth growth and alignment.
• Encourage healthy foods and limit sugary snack and drinks, especially in-between meals.
• Ensure that a properly fitted mouthguard is worn during contact sports and cycling.

Understandably, we have recently had an increase in queries from parents asking about Men B vaccinations for their children.
This vaccine is only currently given to babies under the age of 2 years old. Although the guidance is being reviewed daily by the UKHSA.

Todays update advises the following:
"Given the severity of the outbreak, and as an additional precautionary measure, a targeted vaccination programme will begin, starting with students that are residents of the Canterbury Campus Halls of Residence at the University of Kent who will be contacted directly."
We will continue to monitor this and if any changes occur locally contact will be made.

You can also visit the NHS website for any further information. Meningitis can be very serious if not treated quickly.
