Aims and scope
Advances in Mental Health and Intellectual Disabilities (AMHID) is a vital and pioneering source of peer-reviewed research and information specific to the mental health needs of people with intellectual/learning disabilities.

The journal integrates current research with practice and keeps researchers and professionals up to date with a variety of different perspectives and international developments in the field.

AMHID supports the delivery of high-quality and evidence-based practice and provides a forum for the debate of current issues and opinions.

Articles include:

current research
developments in the design and delivery of services

resource reviews.
AMHID is published in partnership with CANDDID (Centre for Autism, Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Intellectual Disability) at Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
