Did you know that people with intellectual disabilities (ID) often do not have access to critical health services? Improving the health and well-being of people with ID is something we are passionate about. We call it Inclusive Health.

May is Mental Health Awareness month. Through Healthy Athletes Strong Minds programing, Special Olympics helps athletes learn coping strategies and provides resources to increase relaxation and stress management skills. Because it’s just as important to exercise your mind as it is your body.
