Do you support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) who may also have behavioral health needs?Although people with I/DD may struggle with mental health or substance use, many are undiagnosed or overlooked, and traditional treatment options may not be equipped to support this population. While programs like the START Model (Systemic, Assessment, Resource and Treatment) have been implemented in various states, we want to know what you're doing in your organization:
- What evidence-based practices or resources have you engaged in your current practice?
- What resources or programs do you wish you had access to?
We would love to hear from you as we prepare for NatCon20 in Austin, Texas, from April 5-7, where we will offer various learning sessions on I/DD.
Thank you!
