To learn more about the great work of National Center for START Services, be sure to follow their page for updates, trainings, and announcements!

Across the START Network, every day is Mental Health Day! As you can see on our latest map, we've worked with 35 states and counting to improve mental health for people with intellectual/developmental disabilities (IDD).

We've gotten lots of new followers recently who may be wondering, what is START?

START (which stands for Systemic, Therapeutic, Assessment, Resources, and Treatment) is a crisis prevention and intervention service model for people aged 6 and older with IDD and mental health needs (IDD-MH).

START programs around the country provide 24-7 crisis response and stabilization services in their communities, often in conjunction with first responders and other healthcare professionals. The START model is designed to build capacity and bridge gaps in systems to improve the lives of people with IDD-MH.

Using the START model as a foundation, START programs can meet the unique needs of their community, with guidance from NCSS. This allows us to share skills and knowledge across a national network. Everything we do in the START model is evidence-based and backed by research. In addition to establishing START programs, we also offer professional development and other resources for professionals, caregivers and families, and people with lived experience of IDD-MH.

From our headquarters at the UNH Institute on Disability, we provide both in-person and virtual support to all our programs and partners nationwide.

Happy !

The Link Center’s Shared Learning Groups are phenomenal learning opportunities. Having been part of these for the past year, I can share that this has been one of the most robust learning experiences, as it provides true collaborative learning and ways to join learning and community.

Members of the START Network are invited to join our partners at The Link Center for the next Shared Learning Groups on October 20-21, 2026. The topic will be, "Slow Down, Listen, and Respond with Humanity: Su***de Prevention Support Strategies for People with Co-Occurring Conditions."

When navigating complex, co-occurring conditions, people can often feel trapped and see no way out, placing them at a higher risk for su***de. While every experience is unique, the most powerful intervention often begins when we slow down, listen deeply, and respond with intention. Join this upcoming Shared Learning Group as we ground ourselves in lived experiences. We will discuss critical warning signs and risk factors, while sharing actionable strategies and resources to provide ongoing support and restore a sense of hope.

Every three months, The Link Center hosts virtual shared learning groups for direct support professionals, clinical professionals, family members, and people with lived experience. These groups provide opportunities to dive into important topics and tap into your expertise and experiences related to people with cognitive disabilities, including intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and brain injuries, and mental health conditions.

There are four sessions on the same topic for different target audiences. Please register for the session most relevant to you, or whichever best fits into your schedule.

Live captioning and ASL interpretation will be provided during all live webinars.
