Mental health matters - and for many people with dyslexia, the impact goes far beyond the classroom.
In our report, ‘Set up for somebody else’: Young people with dyslexia in the education system, 70% of the children and young people surveyed said dyslexia had caused them to feel bad about themselves.
But the emotional impact doesn’t stop in childhood. Many adults with dyslexia continue to experience anxiety, low confidence, stress, and feeling misunderstood in education, work, and everyday life.
This Mental Health Awareness Week, led by Mental Health Foundation, the theme is Action. For us, action means creating environments where people with dyslexia can thrive without stigma or shame.
