What Does Info Access Look Like?
Emotional Health Planning Program
In this program, Chesterfield Community Services Board (CSB) shares info with adults with developmental disabilities who want an emotionally healthy life. The CSB helps with learning through cartoons, videos, music and a workbook. The adults learn about trauma and how to cope. They gain new skills to manage and share their emotions. They feel more independent. Adults who finish the program are overall more calm and happier.
