Explore How to Recognise, Respect &  Work within Neurodiversity. Moving Towards  a Culturally Attuned, Anti-Oppressive Practice

2.5 hr Live Online CPD Workshop or 🎥 Buy The Recording | All Tickets £35 About this eventThis workshop offers practitioners an opportunity to explore neurodiversity with depth and nuance. Participants will learn how to understand neurodivergence within the broader identity of clients and the ‘working within diversity’ anti-oppressive model.Through interactive and reflective discussions the workshop will guide you beyond surface-level awareness, helping you develop culturally attuned practices, to consider how factors such as culture, identity, systemic inequalities and power-relational dynamics intersect with neurodiversity, and how these insights can be applied in real-world professional settings. How might this workshop impact your practice?By the end of the session, participants will feel more confident in fostering environments that honour neurodiversity through an anti-oppressive position and lens, to be able to offer therapeutic practice, processes, relationships and process which pay attention to the power dynamics to be able to offer equity and cultural attunement to our clients.
