What thoughts and feelings arise as you consider working with neurodivergent individuals? How do your professional and/or lived experience create or amplify these internal experiences?

Join Jennifer Kemp as she explores ways to be more mindful of our interactions with neurodivergent clients. Through her event, participants will delve into neurodivergent cultural identities and learn to cultivate self-acceptance, self-compassion, and pride in neurodivergent identity. Jennifer seamlessly integrates principles of neurodiversity-affirming practice with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), offering therapists actionable strategies.

This event prompts reflection on how we engage with neurodivergent individuals, encouraging the creation of neuro-affirming environments. It's an opportunity to expand awareness and cultivate inclusive practices, enriching therapeutic relationships and fostering greater understanding and support for neurodiversity.
