The grant received from Ecclesiastical will help to transform Intellectual Disability Services across the UK and Ireland. It will enable Parents Plus to recruit, train, mentor and supervise 50 professionals from 25 services working with adolescents and young adults with Intellectual Disability, to deliver the Parents Plus Special Needs Programme. Delivered individually or in small groups, the programme will equip parents to manage the significant challenges of Intellectual Disability during adolescence, improve mental health and social / economic outcomes of all family members, and bring families back to their communities where they belong.
