Breaking the Stigma: Mental Health in the IDD Community

In this episode of Quillo Pod, Cynthia Morraz and John Dickerson shed light on the often-overlooked intersection of mental health and the IDD community during Mental Health Awareness Month. They discuss the persistent stigma surrounding mental health challenges, share personal stories that illustrate the importance of being an ally, and offer practical guidance on supporting those experiencing difficulties. The importance of creating spaces where it's "okay not to be okay," and how small acts of kindness and connection can make a meaningful difference in someone's journey.
