X-WR-CALDESC:The importance of recognizing Dual Diagnosis (co-occurring dev
 elopmental disability and mental illness) to better understand the needs o
 f youth with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities who engage in challen
 ging behavior has received more attention in recent years.  While this imp
 ortant advance opens up a variety of new strategies and perspectives on tr
 eatment and development\, it doesn’t present a complete picture.  New Jers
 ey’s Children’s System of Care (CSOC) emphasizes a person or child and fam
 ily centered approach to providing support.  This approach values individu
 al development and youth achieving their potential within the family and c
 ommunity.  This can be further realized through a Positive Psychology appr
 oach.  The challenge is that “disability services” begin with a working de
 finition based on things that a person cannot do\, and Mental Health servi
 ces are typically organized around the diagnosis and treatment of mental i
 llness (labeling and treating pathology that has undermined a person’s beh
 avior and development of adaptive skill).\n\nThis presentation will focus 
 on insights gained from the field of Positive Psychology – a new disciplin
 e of study that emerged in the early 2000s.  We will focus on the importan
 t shift in perspective – What can we do/need to d to support health and we
 ll-being\, so that we maximize each youth’s opportunity to live up to thei
 r potential?  Discussion will include shifting toward a genuine mental HEA
 LTH perspective with a focus on wellness and how we can support this in me
 aningful ways\, using the resources that are currently available to child 
 and family teams within CSOC.
