The purpose of this summit is to have a strategic discussion and invite provocative ideas regarding the workforce needs within HHS Region 7 (Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska) surrounding working with those who have a dual diagnosis of mental illness and an intellectual and/or developmental disability.
Join us at the United Minds Summit, where diverse perspectives converge to delve into the significant challenges and questions surrounding dual diagnoses of Mental Health and Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (MH/IDD). Explore the broader landscape and gain insights into how this intersection influences the workforce, subsequently shaping the quality of work and services. Our intentional focus on building and fortifying relationships with key stakeholders in the region aims to foster change and inspire future action. This summit provides a unique opportunity to assess the progress of each state, exchange knowledge on ongoing initiatives, and identify crucial areas demanding targeted attention.
Dive into focused discussions across three pivotal breakouts to propel progress in the realm of dual diagnoses of MH/IDD.
In the "Assessment, Treatment, and Intervention" breakout, engage in conversations addressing training and technical assistance needs at various service levels - strategic, service-oriented, or individual-focused.
Navigate the intricacies of “Crisis Intervention” in this dedicated breakout, delving into strategies and best practices to handle critical situations effectively. Explore innovations, share insights, and collaborate on enhancing crisis response protocols.
The "Systems" breakout will be a dynamic forum for conversations centering on available resources across different service levels. Together, we will set priorities, identify bottlenecks, and strategize ways to optimize the support systems in place.
Join us as we collectively work towards a more informed, responsive, and resource-efficient approach to the complex intersection of MH/IDD dual diagnoses. Together, let's chart the course towards a more impactful and inclusive future.
