SUMMARY:AutismBC Talks: Neurodivergence and Mental Health Supports: A Therapist's Perspective
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for an informative AutismBC Talks: Neurodivergence and Mental Health Supports: A Therapist’s Perspective\, This Talk is designed to empower individuals and families to better understand the intersection of neurodivergence and mental health and considerations for navigating mental health services and supports\, from the perspectives and experiences of a clinical social worker in their role as a mental health therapist and researcher in this space. \nHere’s a glimpse of what you can expect: \n• Learn from the experiences of a clinical social worker who works alongside mostly neurodivergent folks in a private practice counselling setting.\n• Answers to your frequently asked questions about:\n   Ways in which neurodivergence and mental health can intersect\n   Common mental health experiences of neurodivergent individuals\n   Common barriers and facilitators experienced by neurodivergent individuals in mental health systems of care\n   Potential ways to support and reinforce mental health and wellbeing \nOur goal is to offer an opportunity for participants to learn about common experiences of mental health and well-being among the neurodivergent community\, to learn more about the research to date in this area\, and to have your questions answered. \nWe will have a 1-hour question and answer session with Rae to address inquiries from our membership. We’ll begin by discussing Frequently Asked Questions in a Q&A format with Liv and Rae. These questions have been submitted in advance during the registration process. Towards the end\, we’ll allocate approximately 15 minutes to address live questions. \nConsidering the sensitive nature of the topic and the past trauma some of our members have experienced while seeking mental health support\, we intend to keep the recording private and not publicly post it. Following the live session\, we will provide a summary and transcription of the questions on our blog. \n \n  \nSpeakers: Rae Morris\, MSW\, RCSW (she/her) \n \n  \nRae Morris\, MSW\, RCSW (she/her) is a neurodivergent cisgender white settler woman who provides private counselling/therapy with individuals and families \nRae resides on the traditional and unceded territories of the Indigenous and First Nations peoples across British Columbia.
