Dual Diagnosis is designed to help you better understand and support individuals who have both intellectual/developmental disabilities and mental health challenges. During this session, you will gain a basic understanding of the distinction between these two conditions and what it means for someone to have a dual diagnosis. The workshop will explore the difficulties faced by mental health professionals in diagnosing mental health issues in people with developmental disabilities and will provide insights into how affective disorders, anxiety disorders, psychosis, and personality disorders manifest in this population. You will also learn about treatment and therapeutic strategies along with practical ideas you can implement immediately to better support those with dual diagnoses.

Psychological First Aid (PFA) prepares participants to provide PFA, one variation of a peer-mediated supportive psychological intervention aimed at mitigating stress people can experience following a potentially impactful life event. Participants will develop an appreciation for the benefits of PFA and become familiar with the SAFER-R model of its implementation. In addition to developing skills to provide PFA, this training introduces a less known way of using this intervention: to create an atmosphere of psychological safety within a team and provide team members with tools to support each other during life’s challenges, thereby increasing team cohesiveness and individual resilience.
