Do you have a young adult brother or sister with I/DD and mental health challenges? A partnership of self-advocates, along with SABE, The Arc of the US, and Boston University are working on a project focused on people with I/DD who also identify as having a mental health challenge.
We want to hear directly from young adults who:
- Are 18-30 years old
- Have a disability
- Have a mental health diagnosis or receive treatment for mental health symptoms (for example: medication).
They can tell us about their experiences getting support for their mental health by:
- Taking our survey: tinyurl.com/yc25mk5y
- Sharing their story at a Virtual Town Hall: tinyurl.com/y8yat7zq
Young adults will be entered to win a $25 gift card.
We will give out 20 gift cards.
The survey answers and stories will help us understand what can make mental health treatment for young adults with disabilities better.
