The DDMH Lab videos stem from the work of the York Research Chair in Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disability Mental Health at York University.
Led by Dr. Jonathan Weiss, the research group identifies risk factors related to mental health problems in autistic people and those with neurodevelopmental disabilities and their families, address these factors and associated mental health problems using novel mental health support, and study access mental health care across the country.
Good mental health translates into better outcomes for autistic people and those with neurodevelopmental disabilities and for their families, and to a reduced demand on our health care system, which benefits all Canadians.
