People with ID/DD have the same desires for connection, intimacy, and belonging as anyone else. Yet stigma, limited education, and restrictive systems often stand in the way.
Research continues to show that when individuals with ID/DD are provided with accessible education, supportive environments, and opportunities for autonomy, they are better equipped to make informed choices and build healthy relationships.
Sexuality is not an optional part of person-centered support, it’s an essential one.
Sexuality and mental health are deeply connected, but for individuals with ID/DD, that connection is often ignored.
When conversations are avoided, autonomy is limited, and education is withheld, the impact goes far beyond relationships; it affects confidence, safety, and overall wellbeing.
At Among Friends, we’re committed to changing that.
Because real support means supporting the whole person.
