Clinical Nurse Specialist Mental Health of Intellectual Disability

(CNSp MHID)

A Vision for Change (2006) details a comprehensive model of health service provision for Ireland. It describes a framework for building and fostering positive mental health across the entire community and for providing accessible, community-based, specialist services for people with mental illness. It recommended that (Recommendation 14.6). Mental health services for people with intellectual disability should be provided by a specialist mental health of intellectual disability (MHID) team that is catchment area-based. These services should be distinct and separate from, but closely linked to, the multidisciplinary teams in intellectual disability services who provide a health and social care service for people with intellectual disability.
