The relationship between neurodivergence and mental health is complex.

REFRAME THE NARRATIVE

By the end of this webinar, not only will you have explored some of the complexities of neurodiversity and mental health, but you will have the foundations to begin creating an inclusive space for yourself and your employees.

You’ll also learn about:

A white square in the top left corner overlaps a dark blue arrow pointing down and to the right, casting a sharp shadow on a light background—an abstract nod to neurodiversity and great minds thinking differently.

…the social model of disability and neurodiversity.

A geometric design with five squares—three dark blue and two white—arranged in a pattern. This motif subtly celebrates neurodiversity, as the contrasting colours represent unique perspectives coming together in harmony.

…masking and burnout.

A white rectangle is centred on a light grey background, with three dark blue rectangles—symbolising great minds—partially overlapping the top right, bottom centre, and left side of the image.

…positive and balanced language and terminology.

A dark blue diamond shape, a dark blue plus sign, and two empty white squares are arranged in a grid pattern on a light background, symbolising Great Minds and the celebration of neurodiversity.

…how to embrace a strengths-based approach for acceptance and inclusion.
