Neurodivergence refers to individuals whose brains function differently, including those with Autism, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, Sensory Processing Disorders, and many other differences. It is common but often misunderstood, with many associated features and misdiagnoses. Mental health clinicians should understand neurodivergence in therapy to effectively work with clients. This webinar offers an introduction and focuses on diagnosis and working with neurodivergent clients in therapy.  LEARN MORE

ADVANCED NEURODIVERGENCE: TRAUMA

August 29, 2025, 9-1:30 CST 

4 CE HOURS IN DIAGNOSING NBCC APPROVED 

Join us for a hybrid live and in-person webinar as we delve into the complex relationship between neurodivergence and trauma. This session will explore neurodivergent experiences, with a particular focus on Autism and ADHD, while examining the role of dissociation within these populations.

Is dissociation a factor contributing to the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals, a co-occurring condition stemming from shared vulnerabilities, or an often misdiagnosed phenomenon? How does it relate to Autism and ADHD? This webinar will provide valuable insights into the interplay between trauma and neurodivergence, helping you better understand how these factors influence one another.
