NJ report: Help people with dual diagnoses
October 13th, 2008From the [Newark] Star-Ledger:
More than one-third of people with autism and other developmental disabilities may also have mental illness, said a report by a New Jersey task force.
It called on hospitals and community service agencies to improve care for these people, and urged cross-training professionals in mental health and developmental disabilities fields. The state’s human services commissioner said the report will help the state prevent disabled people from being wrongly institutionalized.
