Resources for National Psychology Week

This is Psychology Week here in Australia, an initiative of the Australian Psychological Society, aiming 'to increase public awareness of how psychology can help people and communities lead healthier, happier and more meaningful lives.'


People with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities, and those who care for them can benefit from information about psychology, resources to promote mental health, and professional psychological services just like everyone else.

Click here for general information about Psychology Week events, activities and resources. You can find resources specifically relating to psychology and people with intellectual disability by entering 'intellectual disability' in the search box on the website.

Other resources:
  • The Intellectual Disability Behaviour Support Program at the University of NSW '...  works to address the research-to-policy-and-practice nexus to improve support for people with intellectual disability and complex support needs.' 
You can learn more about the program, and its Chair, Associate Professor Leanne Dowse, by visiting the website, and downloading the program flyer.
