Depression and Down Syndrome workshop for Families in Massachusetts (3)Virtual Event, February 13th, 2023, 7 p.m., with the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress. The Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress’s (MDSC) support group for family members who have a loved one with Down syndrome and a mental health diagnosis.
* Does your teen or adult loved one with Down syndrome also have a mental health diagnosis such as Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder or Bipolar Disorder?
* Often these illnesses bring on a change in daily living skills, mood, or interest in activities once enjoyed. Seeing these changes and regression in your loved one can be very difficult.
* The MDSC offers a support group for parents/caregivers of teens and adults with Down syndrome who also have a mental health diagnosis of:

  • depression
  • anxiety
  • obsessive-compulsive disorder
  • bipolar disorder

* Meetings are held monthly and alternate between informal chats and facilitation by a licensed counselor.
* To RSVP or join the private Facebook group to connect with other parents and caregivers, share resources and obtain mutual support, contact mentalhealth@mdsc.org or 781-221-0024 .
