Panel featuring: Allison Cowan, MD, DFAPA; Latisha Martin; Brenda Miller, and Andrea Witwer, PhD
In 2018, an estimated 17.4 million (32.9%) adults with disabilities experienced frequent mental distress. Frequent mental distress is associated with poor health behaviors, increased use of health services, mental disorders, chronic disease, and limitations in daily life.
Ohio data indicates adults with disabilities experience depression at rates higher than any other group, and adults with developmental disabilities have significantly higher rates of all unmet care needs, including mental health, than the general population.
Join us as we learn about barriers to and promoters of access to quality mental health care for people with disabilities.
