Organizations & Communities

The Link Center

A federally funded initiative led by NASDDDS in partnership with NASMHPD, NASHIA, and NADD, The Link Center works to improve supports for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, brain injuries, and other cognitive disabilities who also experience co-occurring mental health conditions. Their freely accessible resource library spans assessment and diagnosis, trauma-informed practices, therapies and treatment, crisis response, and systems change — making it one of the most comprehensive and directly relevant hubs available for clinicians working at this intersection. They also offer free virtual shared learning groups on priority topics.
