ECHO OntarioAdult Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities: Mental Health in the Time of COVID-19
ECHO Ontario Adult Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (AIDD) addresses the intersection of intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD) in adults and mental health concerns.
This program is for mental health/primary care providers and developmental service providers who support adults with IDD. The curriculum will specifically address the mental health challenges that this population can face during the COVID-19 pandemic. Topics that will be presented during this program include: providing virtual mental health supports, depression and anxiety, evaluating suicide risk, facilitating supported decision-making, emergency preparedness and promoting resilience for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, caregivers and providers.
