The Dual Diagnosis Intervention Team (DDIT), is a collaborative group of professionals who work together to provide wraparound services for individuals who have co-existing mental health and developmental disabilities. This group lends expertise, technical assistance, and support for some of the most difficult situations in those counties. The DDIT was initially formed in March 2005 and continues to meet at least quarterly, or more often if there is a need. The members include representatives from four county boards of developmental disabilities: Allen, Auglaize, Hardin & Putnam, Coleman Professional Services and Mercy Health St. Rita’s. Case Managers, SSAs and other professionals present cases to the group and feedback and support is given from the team. This group has resulted in improved communication between Developmental Disabilities (DD) and Mental Health professionals in the county and has allowed for county boards of DD to share insight and knowledge with each other on other various topics.
