Community inclusion with SEND
As you prepare to become an adult, you may want to get involved in your local community. Whether this means joining a local group, taking part in council activities or building and maintaining relationships and friendships.
Becoming an adult
Friendships, relationships and understanding who you are is a big part of becoming an adult. As well as understanding what a good and a bad relationship or friendship is, finding out more about sexual health, body image and emotions is also important.
Learn about becoming an adult.
