Brought to us by Hope Services.
The session will be led by Diane Kecskes, MD, Psychiatrist and Medical Director at Hope Services. Dr. Kecskes brings more than twenty years of experience supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and complex mental health needs.
What You’ll Learn
• How mental health concerns may present differently in individuals with developmental disabilities
• Signs that something may be “off” from a person’s usual baseline
• Behavioral and functional warning signs to watch for
• Practical strategies for earlier recognition and compassionate support
Recognizing mental health concerns in individuals with developmental disabilities can be challenging. Changes may appear in behavior, communication, or daily routines rather than being expressed in words.
Join Hope Services for the first session in our Hope in Practice learning series, exploring topics that advance disability inclusion and strengthen community care.
Who Should Attend?
Family Members, Caregivers, Direct support professionals, Clinicians, Educators and Community Partners.
