Abstract

Although approximately a third of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) also experience a mental health concern, caregivers often miss early identification of these issues. In this perspective piece, we present an outline for a mental health literacy program that can enhance existing training approaches for caregivers of individuals with IDD. We describe three processes of the Mental Health Awareness and Advocacy (MHAA) curriculum and detail how it provides a strong preventative model to train caregivers to increase their mental health literacy. In describing these processes, we provide illustrative examples and conclude by providing a brief vignette that highlights how this process could be used by caregivers to help reduce mental health concerns in individuals with IDD.

发展性残疾个体的心理健康问题:改善照顾者的心理健康素养培训。

虽然大约三分之一的智力和发育障碍(IDD)患者也有精神健康问题，但护理人员往往无法及早发现这些问题。在这篇透视文章中，我们提出了一个心理健康素养计划的大纲，该计划可以加强对IDD患者护理人员的现有培训方法。我们描述了心理健康意识和倡导(MHAA)课程的三个过程，并详细说明了它如何提供一个强大的预防模式来培训护理人员，以提高他们的心理健康素养。在描述这些过程时，我们提供了说明性的例子，并通过提供一个简短的小插曲来总结，强调护理人员如何使用这一过程来帮助减少IDD患者的心理健康问题。
