Neurodiversity-Affirming Approaches in Mental Health

Course Overview

This course explores autism, ADHD, and related neurodivergent identities through a strengths-based, identity-affirming lens. You'll gain practical tools to adapt your therapeutic style, avoid clinical pitfalls like misdiagnosis and masking, and offer safer, more inclusive care.

Rather than “fixing” neurodivergent clients, you’ll learn how to work with their unique processing styles, advocate for better access, and build trust in neurodiverse therapeutic relationships.

Duration : 4 Weeks

Sessions: 8 hours of live teaching + 2 hours of independent study
