Navigating Louisiana’s Complex Systems for I/DD & Behavior Health Services

The Louisiana Developmental Disabilities Council has partnered with The Arc of Louisiana to host a series of training opportunities to learn about navigating Louisiana’s complex service delivery system. Trainings are open to all, but individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families are encouraged to attend. Attendees will learn about:

 

  • Addressing existing barriers,
  • Identifying service gaps, and
  • Identifying inadequacies in both the I/DD and Behavioral Health service systems

 

Ten training opportunities will be hosted across the state for individuals with I/DD and their families as well as one web-based training for professionals. Take advantage of this incredible opportunity to learn more about the systems and supports available for individuals with I/DD and Behavioral Health needs.
