This #LearningDisabilityWeekScotland2025, we want to talk about the myth that people with learning disabilities are vulnerable to abuse. A learning disability may give a person vulnerabilities, but we all have vulnerabilities; that does not make them open to abuse. The responsibility for abuse lies with the abuser, always. It’s crucial to shift the narrative and understand that everyone has the right to safety and respect 💜 #AnyBodyAnyTypeAnyTime
🌈At the STAR Centre, we are dedicated to supporting all survivors, regardless of sex, gender or sexuality. Your voice matters, and we are here to listen, believe, & support you. 💜 #AnyBodyAnyTypeAnyTime

Not every person with learning disabilities struggles to understand “complicated” topics like power dynamics and consent. That idea just isn’t true & it shortchanges their intelligence & skills. The truth is, many people with learning disabilities can, & do, understand complex ideas when they’re explained in an accessible way. Everyone deserves good, accessible education about consent and power dynamics, so they can have safe, healthy, pleasurable sex & relationships. #LearningDisabilityWeekScotland2025 #AnyBodyAnyTypeAnyTime
This #LearningDisabilityWeek2025, we will break down some myths about sexuality for individuals with learning disabilities. One common myth is that they cannot have fulfilling romantic or sexual relationships. With social support and accessible education on sex and relationships, individuals with learning disabilities can and do enjoy safe, healthy, and happy sexual & romantic relationships. At the STAR Centre, we believe everyone has the right to learn about sex and explore their sexuality free from exploitation, judgement or violence. Everyone deserves love, respect, and dignity when it comes to sex and relationships 💜

The path to healing after sexual violence isn't linear. Some days feel like a leap forward, others like a step backwards, both are part of the process. Healing doesn’t follow a perfect map, but every twist and turn still brings you closer to yourself. 💜 Wherever you are on your path, The STAR Centre is here for you. #AnyBoyAnyTypeAnyTime

Yesterday was #MHDay2025! At The STAR Centre, we recognise that everyone's menstrual cycle affects them in unique ways. 🌺 From physical symptoms like cramps and bloating to emotional shifts that can impact your mood, it's essential to listen to your body and give yourself the care you deserve during this time.
