Supporting people with intellectual disability and complex support needs.

[IDBS, UNSW @idbs_unsw]

A person-centred case review means... "the person is & should always be at the centre of their own life decisions & of the service planning & delivery that
happens through the case review".
New practice guide from IDBS outlines how to make that person-centred approach happen.

New from @idbs_unsw - How can we build capacity for peer support leadership by people with disability? Insights from the evaluation of Team Up https://t.co/nKqejQwc91

[IDBS, UNSW @idbs_unsw]

Key findings are that developing peer support leadership among people with disability requires (1) development of strong relationships based on familiarity & trust; (2) time & opportunity to develop and practice skills; & (3) resources for support & scaffolding for peer leaders.

Dowse - Why aren’t people with intellectual disability represented in mental health policy?

[#LeadOnNCDs @WePublicHealth]

Hot off the press: An analysis of Australian mental health policy documents shows that the mental health of people with #intellectualdisability is poorly recognized and as a result inadequately addressed. https://t.co/CvnY1iOyTD
