My Lived iD is a hub for people with intellectual disability.
It’s also for the families, carers and health care professionals of people with intellectual disability.
It has been created by the Centre for Development Disability Health.
The Centre for Developmental Disability Heath (CDDH) provides support and information to people with intellectual disability and their families and supports in Victoria.
In 2020, CDDH received funds from the Commonwealth Department of Health to build a website to help people with intellectual disability to access mental health and wellbeing programs so they can stay healthy and well.
The hub’s mission is to provide information and resources.
With the Hub, CDDH aims to provide resources and information that is:
- trustworthy
- up to date
- accessible
- inclusive
- meets the needs of people with intellectual disability
- makes a measurable difference in the mental health and wellbeing of people with intellectual disability, their families, carers and supports.
Nothing about us without us
The CDDH knows that people with intellectual disability are experts in their own lives.
That’s why people with intellectual disability were involved in the development of My Lived iD. They helped to make decisions about how the Hub works, what it looks like and what information it has on it.
