Training Package: Bridging the Gaps
Enhancing Mental Health Support for Neurodivergent Individuals with Co occurring Mental Health Conditions
This training is designed for mental health professionals, educators, and allied practitioners seeking to strengthen their skills in supporting neurodivergent individuals with co occurring mental health challenges. Drawing on both lived experience and clinical expertise, the programme combines evidence based approaches with practical, hands on strategies that can be adapted across a wide range of professional contexts.
Training Overview
Participants will explore the complexities of neurodivergence such as Autism, ADHD, and intellectual disabilities and the intersections with conditions including anxiety, depression, and trauma. The training highlights how to avoid diagnostic overshadowing, recognise and respond to trauma, and adapt approaches to ensure accessibility and inclusion.
Through interactive discussions, case studies, and practical demonstrations, attendees will develop confidence in applying person centred, neurodiversity affirming practices within their work. Emphasis is placed on creative modalities, sensory informed adaptations, and sustainable approaches that enhance both client outcomes and clinician well being.
Key Themes and Learning Outcomes:
Deepening understanding of neurodivergence and co occurring mental health conditions.
Adapting mental health support approaches (including triage, assessment, treatment and discharge for psychological therapies) for neurodivergent clients.
Exploring creative therapeutic tools such as Theraplay and Drawing and Talking Therapy.
Recognising trauma responses and applying trauma informed care.
Addressing intersectionality, including gender diversity, chronic pain, and EDS.
Embedding neurodiversity affirming principles into clinical and organisational practice.
Developing strategies for managing complex presentations in a sustainable way.
Building clinician confidence, resilience, and peer support systems.
Format
This training is available in a bespoke format tailored to the needs of your organisation, ranging from workshops and seminars to extended professional development programmes. Each package is designed to equip participants with practical tools, reflective space, and strategies for meaningful change in both clinical and community settings
