About Our e-learning

Purpose

Our e-learning was designed to be an interactive education resource for everyone with an interest in intellectual disability mental health.

We have developed the content so that it is tailored specifically to different groups of people:

• Carers and families
• Health and mental health professionals
• Disability professionals

The content may also be useful for students and other professionals who want to learn more about intellectual disability and mental health.

How this e-learning was developed

All the e-learning content has been developed collaboratively, and was funded by the NSW Department of Family and Community Services (Ageing, Disability and Home Care), the NSW Ministry of Health (Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol Office), and the Health Education and Training Institute.

Each module was developed by a team of professionals with clinical, project and research experience and representing the health, welfare and disability sectors. People with intellectual disability also had a role in developing content for the site, as you will see when you progress through the modules.
