In this third episode of our podcast C’est une question de santé! we accompany a Douglas Mental Health University Institute intervention team as they head out into the community. The team supports people with an intellectual disability and a mental health condition in their own environment.
At home or in the community, these professionals adapt their interventions in real time, taking into account the environment and the person’s unique needs. This person-centred and proactive approach helps prevent crises, avoid hospitalizations, and encourage autonomy.
Touching testimonials in this episode highlight some unique stories and innovative practices built around inclusion and dignity that have transformed lives.
