Sound and Vision: Reflections on Running a Community-Based Group for Men with Learning Disabilities Online, during the Pandemic
Moloney, Paul; Dobel-Ober, David; Millichap, Sarah
British Journal of Learning Disabilities, v50 n3 p341-349 Sep 2022
Background: Social contact and belonging are among the most important keys to health and wellbeing, especially for the most vulnerable during the current global pandemic. Method: This reflective paper describes the authors' efforts to sustain an online version of a well-established community psychology-oriented group for men with learning disabilities, in challenging times. Drawing upon the learning disability literature and upon theories from community and embodied-dialogical psychology, it explores the most salient shared issues, our joint efforts to address them and possible implications for future clinical practice. Findings: To take advantage of the discovered benefits of online working, we envisage that, post-lockdown, the group will continue to meet in a "hybrid" (combined face-to-face and online form) as described herein: and with some pointers for anyone who might wish to create a similar group.
