From Awareness to Action: Creating a Culture Shift for Youth with Developmental Disabilities and Mental Health Needs
A webinar hosted by the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute, American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) – Texas Chapter, and Integral Care
Young people with developmental disabilities (DD) experience mental health concerns at higher rates than the general population. Despite this, they must navigate systems and environments that were not designed for and rarely accommodate their strengths or needs. This webinar will engage participants in conversation to rethink how we support young people and how we can build a more inclusive and accessible mental health system of care.
