Hi Steve,

Rhode Island isn’t doing great right now, but we just started utilizing the START program, we are only in the first phase. 

It is out of the New Hampshire UCEDD, you can find more here:

Although not directly on point, we are also building a trauma informed community, which should also help address some of these issues.

Hope this is helpful,

Kevin

Are there any states that are doing a good job with this population.  In Kansas the Mental Health system either says the IDD is the main diagnosis  or they resort to addressing people’s needs with very danger drugs with some significant side effects over time.
