Emerging research shows that depression, suicidality, and other mental health disorders are more common among autistic people and those with neurodevelopmental conditions compared to the general population. However, people with neurodevelopmental conditions have often been excluded from mental health research and clinical trials, leading to fewer treatment options that meet the needs of individuals, families, and providers.
This webinar will feature two experts sharing new insights and potential solutions. Jessica Schwartzman, Ph.D., will discuss the latest research on factors that impact depression and suicidality in autistic people and how to use community-based methods to develop effective interventions. Kristen Berg, Ph.D., will introduce a new integrated care approach designed to assess and treat anxiety, depression, and other aspects of health and well-being in people with neurodevelopmental conditions.
