SCDD – Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental Health & Co-Occurring Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD): A Guide for Families to Access Services Many children, teens, and adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) also experience mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or mood disorders. These co-occurring needs are common, real, and treatable but they may look different in individuals with IDD. This presentation is designed to raise awareness and help families better understand what co-occurring mental health needs can look like. We’ll discuss common co-occurring conditions, available resources, where families can begin seeking support, and how to better understand crisis services.
