My CP guide: You get upset. You are old (easy read)
This book is about being an older adult with cerebral palsy.
Life can sometimes feel hard or frustrating. You may feel pain often, or need extra time and effort to do things. Your body can change and you may not be able to do what you want to do.
These experiences can make you feel sad, angry, or upset. Many people with cerebral palsy feel this way. This is called a mental health problem.
This book explains feelings related to mental health problems and growing old. It also gives advice about what you can do to feel better and where to get help.
