Abstract

Young people with intellectual disabilities are at greater risk of developing mental health issues. However, their mental health needs are often not recognised and therefore remain untreated. This article discusses a case study concerning a young man whose mental health needs were first noted in adolescence, and describes his experiences of accessing appropriate services and interventions. Community-based services have provided treatment and support, enabling him to continue living with his family. The case study represents one individual’s experiences but highlights issues that are relevant to other young service-users, service providers and professional practitioners.
