If compromised, mental health problems can have a profound negative consequence on daily functioning and well-being. Mental Health First Aid is the help provided to a person developing a mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. The first aid is given until appropriate professional treatment is received or until the crisis resolves. In order to help people provide initial support for someone with a mental health problem, a 12 hour Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training course was developed in 2000 by Betty Kitchener and Professor Tony Jorm. The aim is to improve mental health literacy of members in the Australian community. There is increasing evidence that people with Intellectual Disability are at increased risk of developing mental health problems. Mental illness is therefore an important problem to identify. A person with an intellectual disability may have problems expressing their thoughts, putting together sentences, learning new skills, doing day to day tasks, making decisions, and remembering things. As a consequence when they experience a mental health issue it may not be recognised. Behaviours that may be associated with the presence of an intellectual disability may mask symptoms. In addition, medical practitioners or carers may assume that difficult behaviours are due to somebody’s intellectual disability, instead of considering the possibility of mental health issues. Getting the right support can also be difficult but there are many effective treatments. These treatments work best when there is good coordination between the mental health service provider and disability services. This workshop aims to provide information pertinent in identifying steps in managing episodes of mental illness and the important elements in promoting healthy practices for people with mental illness and intellectual disability. Consideration will be given to the unique needs of people with intellectual disability during this workshop. Target group: Staff working in contact with a person who has mental illness and an intellectual disability.
