Understanding Neurodiversity & How it Impacts Life

Join us for a candid conversation with therapists, a clinical psychologist, and an ADHD advocate as we explore what neurodiversity really looks like; in childhood, in relationships, and in daily adult life. You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of what neurodiversity looks like across ages and relationships, practical ways to support your child or a loved one who’s neurodivergent, and tools for understanding and supporting your own neurodivergence.
