Webinar

About This Webinar

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) experience unique health realities, including those related to their mental health. Many adults with IDD have a heightened risk of experiencing mental health conditions (e.g., anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder). As a result, direct support professionals (DSPs) are often tasked with addressing complex mental health needs.

Watch this on-demand webinar to hear Christina Marsack-Topolewski, PhD, LMSW, Associate Professor of Social Work at Eastern Michigan University, discuss the comorbid mental health challenges that individuals with IDD face so you can provide the best support possible.

During this webinar, you’ll learn:   

  • Common co-occurring mental health conditions among individuals with IDD
  • How DSPs can recognize signs and symptoms of mental health challenges
  • What resources are available to promote mental health safety and support individuals with IDD experiencing mental health challenges
