MISSD is pleased that our educational resources will reach professionals attending this week’s Learning Disabilities of America annual conference. Children prescribed meds with known risks of suicidality and adverse psychiatric effects deserve informed care prior to prescribing.

Fact: A 2020 study found that 6.5% of U.S. children (ages 3–17) take psychiatric meds, and many more are given meds that can cause suidicality. Awareness is critical to reduce harm and save lives.
