BDSA Programs

BDSA has defined three core program areas that align with our mission and vision. We collaborate closely with our community to assess their needs and deliver programs that are meaningful, educational, and impactful.

 

• Family Support & Community Building – Initiatives like BDSA Family Reunion event provide opportunities for families of individuals with Down syndrome to connect, share experiences, and access vital resources.

• Advocacy & Awareness – Campaigns such as Black Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, Down Syndrome Awareness Month, and Black Philanthropy Month raise awareness and promote equity for Black individuals with Down Syndrome.

• Health & Wellness – Programs focused on empowering sexual health, reproductive support, and overall well-being for individuals with intellectual disabilities, ensuring access to inclusive healthcare and education. We also have programs to support family members and caregivers.
