Dual Diagnosis and The Dimensions of Wellness

Over the past two decades states and providers have been challenged to find the most efficient and effective ways to provide integrated services for individuals with a dual diagnosis of Intellectual Developmental Disability/Mental Illness. At Merakey, we believe that the best way to serve individuals with an IDD/MH dual diagnosis is through a person-centered community-based treatment model that addresses the whole person.

This Merakey Leadership Seminar is designed to give health care professionals the tools they need to improve care for the people they serve. Over two days, Merakey’s team of experts and innovators will explore the unique social, physical, emotional, financial, spiritual, environmental, and intellectual needs of people with a dual diagnosis and provide best practices in addressing those needs.
