NSW Disability Network Forum (DNF) comment on draft National Mental Health Plan
The DNF is concerned that there is no mention of people with intellectual disability in the draft Plan. People with intellectual disability who experience mental health issues are particularly vulnerable due to the challenges they face in accessing appropriate mental health care.
The DNF endorses the position statement and recommendations of its member, the NSW Council of Intellectual Disability, in relation to the draft Plan. These recommendations are contained in our submisson.
