Mental Health Wellness for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (MHW-IDD)

This self-paced online course was developed by legacy DADS and DSHS to educate direct service workers and others about behavioral health needs of people who have an IDD and a co-occurring behavioral health condition. This training looks at challenging behavior in a new way and emphasizes the importance of supporting mental wellness in individuals with an IDD.

Through the modules in this course, you will learn to recognize the "whole person" and to gain a better understanding of different factors that influence the way people with IDD think, feel, and behave. You will also learn how you can positively impact their quality of life.

The self-paced online course consists of six modules as follows:
