October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month

Individuals with Down syndrome face an increased risk of mental health issues during their life.

Ask for help if you or a loved one with Down syndrome is experiencing big mood or behavior changes (e.g., feeling sad or having trouble sleeping for many days in a row, losing interest in being social or doing favorite activities).
