Family Supports

Inclusion NB offers personalized support and assistance to New Brunswick families who are caring for a child, youth, or adult with an intellectual or developmental disability. We help families, at all stages, navigate complex government and community agency systems, helping everyone have equal opportunity to fully participate in all aspects of life.

Within the past decade there have been many changes in the health care field regarding individuals living with a dual diagnosis of mental health and intellectual or developmental disability. Specialized caregivers and support workers provide services, for the most part. However, there may be times when family members and volunteers step in to provide support and guidance to an individual who has an intellectual or developmental disability and a mental health concern.
