TCOM CONFERENCE SPOTLIGHT!

ARE YOU READY FOR THE 2023 TCOM CONFERENCE?

We are super excited about this year's?#TCOM?Conference, “Lex Go! Pop Health”, and as we get closer, we want to spotlight some of the exciting presentations we have planned for you. Here is another one you do not want to miss!

A Brief Multi-Disciplinary Intervention to Supporting Adults with IDD and Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions

This presentation reviews the implementation and utilization of the #ANSA-DD (A Tool for Adults with Developmental Challenges) in a novel intervention approach that provides support for adults living with #IDD and co-occurring mental health conditions. The supportive holistic intervention is a mobile treatment team approach that engages with the targeted adult and their community-based support system. A behavioral health clinician and physical health professional facilitate the multi-disciplinary treatment team approach, which is informed by a multi-point functional assessment and the ANSA-DD. The ANSA-DD guides individual discussion and awareness of aggregate changes in client needs at the systems level. This presentation will discuss how identified strengths are harnessed and paired with need areas to best support individuals. This presentation will also review more than five years of outcomes data that demonstrate the effectiveness of a brief multi-disciplinary approach when supporting adults living with IDD and co-occurring mental health conditions. Program outcomes data will be reported including the use of data to show impact and access sustainable funding.

Learning objectives?

• Identify three ways to view aggregate data to identify and address changing global trends in demographics and need areas.
• Identify three unique ways the ANSA-DD can be integrated into a multi-disciplinary approach.
• Discuss the importance of viewing data through a justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion lens.
• Discuss two clinical benefits resulting from the implementation of a multi-disciplinary approach when supporting adults living with IDD and co-occurring mental health conditions.
