Mind the Gap: Bridging the Path to Psychotherapy for People Navigating IDD

Event Description:
Join us for an engaging session centered on improving psychotherapy access for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and co-occurring mental health challenges. The event begins with a compelling case presentation, followed by an exploration of access barriers, provider insights, and interactive discussions aimed at uncovering practical solutions and strategies for fostering inclusive care.

Participants will also be introduced to a practical framework designed to support both individuals and caregivers. This segment provides guidance on addressing challenges, promoting well-being, and crafting effective strategies for advocacy and care.

This session offers valuable tools, insights, and collaborative opportunities to enhance mental health services for neurodiverse populations.

Who Should Attend:
This event is ideal for healthcare providers, mental health professionals, educators, social workers, and community members who work with or support individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities and trauma. We encourage participants to come ready to share their insights and learn from one another.
