Recognising Mental Health Needs in 22q
🧠 Recognising Emotional & Mental Health Needs
Mental health challenges are common across the lifespan in 22q — yet they’re often misunderstood, missed, or attributed to behaviour, personality, or “just stress.” This webinar helps parents, caregivers, and professionals recognise early signs of emotional and mental health difficulties, understand how they present differently in 22q, and learn how to seek appropriate support with confidence.
What you’ll learn
✅ How anxiety, depression, OCD, psychosis-risk, and other mental health challenges can present differently in children, teens, and adults with 22q
✅ Early warning signs that are often overlooked — including subtle behaviour changes, withdrawal, increased irritability, or sudden drops in functioning
✅ Practical steps for seeking assessment and support, communicating concerns, and navigating healthcare systems
✅ How to create emotionally safe environments, reduce stigma, and support wellbeing across the lifespan
💡 A compassionate, informative session to help you notice what others might miss — and respond early, effectively, and with confidence.
