Social Check-in Service

We all experience feelings of anxiety, loneliness, isolation, burn-out and grief from time to time. For individuals with disabilities these challenges are often more difficult to overcome. Social Check-in Service is here to promote personal resilience and empowerment to Iowans recovering from the challenges of natural and personal disasters.

The Social Check-in Service at the Center for Disabilities and Development is here to provide services to Iowans with disabilities. We promote coping skills, resiliency, and empowerment to help individuals with disabilities, families and communities as they face the difficulties and challenges that are a part of life.

This program is funded through a contract with the State of Iowa Department of Health and Human Services to offer free counseling, virtual activities, and help finding resources. This program can help Iowans learn creative strategies for coping with the effects of natural disasters.

University of Iowa Health Care’s Center for Disabilities and Development provides this support specifically to Iowans with disabilities, their families and caregivers. The program is operated through Iowa Compass, the disability-specific information and referral service as part of the state’s University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities.
