Location: Zoom

Family Peer Advocates provide support, resources, and information to families in the mental health system. One aspect of this work is helping families navigate complicated systems. Oftentimes, this involves working with caregivers or parents of children with co-occurring mental health conditions and intellectual and developmental disabilities. Caregivers new to navigating services for mental health and developmental disabilities often need assistance in identifying and accessing available resources. In this presentation, Family Peer Advocates will learn how to begin the process of accessing services within the intellectual and developmental disabilities system, understand the differences between these services and available mental health services, and alternative options if these services are not available. Attendees will hear first hand experiences from caregivers navigating these systems for their families.
