The Link Center invites you to participate in its Shared Learning Groups virtual gathering series.
These Shared Learning Groups are an opportunity to dive into important topics together, sharing resources, information, and ideas to better support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), brain injuries, and other disabilities and co-occurring mental health conditions. These meetings will be led by members of our Steering Committee and project partners.
Please join us for our next Shared Learning Groups as we discuss
Health and Wellness: Eight Dimensions of Wellness
Being healthy and feeling well is about more than just the absence of illness. It’s about finding balance, strength, and joy in daily life — even when living with medical conditions or disabilities. In this session, we will explore the Eight Dimensions of Wellness and learn how each one contributes to a fuller, healthier life. We will also share practical tips and strategies to help people with co-occurring conditions live their best life.
Live Captioning and ASL Interpretation will be provided during all live webinars.
Registration is required.
There are four sessions on the same topic for different target audiences. Please register for the session most relevant to you, or whichever best fits into your schedule.

NADD

Since 1983, NADD has been dedicated to educating and training people on issues relating to the IDD/MI dual diagnosis through direct consultation and training, professional certification programs, conferences, and by publishing the most up-to-date information and research in the field of IDD/MI in books and through an academic journal.

Over the course of nearly 4 decades, we have improved the lives of thousands of individuals: people with IDD/MI, their families and the dedicated professionals who work with them, building a Bridge to Hope and a richer, fuller life.
