Dual-Diagnoses Webinar Series Overview
Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities may also have mental health and substance use issues that are overlooked. At the same time, traditional behavioral health resources and interventions don’t always take into account the unique needs of someone with I/DD.
Do you have the resources and information you need to support the individuals who rely on your services in the most person-centered and holistic ways?
The American Network of Community Options and Resources (ANCOR) and NADD, an association for persons with developmental disabilities and mental health needs, are proud to partner together to offer this six-part webinar series that covers topics ranging from relaxation training for individuals with I/DD to supporting psychological resilience in staff.

Session Description
Individuals with ID and challenging behaviors pose many challenges related to impulsive choices in the areas of sexuality, fire setting, anger and the use of the internet. There is an increased need for effective risk assessment to guide decision making on treatment teams. These assessments need to be thorough and target aspects of intellectual functioning, risk of offending and mental health. This webinar will highlight helpful assessment tools and common problems faced by teams with this population. The risk for sexual offenses and the need for sexual education will be discussed. Several case studies will be presented to illustrate the need for effective assessment and increased staff education.
