Abstract

Initially launched in 1995, this new version of a training package is especially welcome as, since then, there have been major developments in the learning disabilities field, including the mental health needs of people with learning disabilities. We now know much more about how to screen and assess mental health problems, and have access to a wider range of assessment tools. Furthermore, we have learnt how to adapt and develop intervention strategies to respond to the mental health needs of people with learning disabilities and support their families and carers.
