Overview

Breaking Down Silos: Innovation in Dual Diagnosis Systems takes a look at the complex issues faced by individuals with developmental disabilities and behavioral/mental health issues and their families. The book broadens the focus of dual diagnosis challenges to include not only issues of diagnosis and recognition but also an examination of challenges these individuals often face in navigating various systems, programs, and organizations. The book offers recommendations on building on existing program/system successes as well as needed changes to ensure access to needed services and positive health and life outcomes for individuals with behavioral/mental health needs and IDD.
