I am keen to improve access to information about child and adolescent intellectual disability psychiatry because I believe this can improve mental wellbeing and family functioning and reduce the harm associated with psychiatric illness. I will start with the most frequent issues that come up clinically, and plan to expand this. My aim is to provide quickly accessible relevant general information to help move your situation in a positive direction. It has been designed to be understood by families, people who have mental health problems and professionals, so take what you need and ignore what is not relevant. Ask a question or send some feedback and this will guide the development of this section.

Please remember that this information does not equate to specific advice from a mental health professional who has assessed your individual circumstances.
