The Arc is hosting a webinar to discuss the challenges people with I/DD and mental health needs and their families face. This webinar will review two recent projects that studied the needs of these individuals how to better support people and their families.
The first project featured explored how to help young adults with I/DD and mental health needs get better mental health care. This project brought together young adults with I/DD and their families, service providers, and researchers to develop priorities for practice and research. The second project hosted focus groups. These groups discussed the challenges that people with I/DD and mental health needs and their families have and what we can be doing to better help families. This project was funded by the Family Support Research and Training Center (FSRTC).
This webinar will feature presenters from The Arc, Boston University, and The Intellectual Developmental Disability Mental Health (IDD-MH) Research Partnership.
