Neurodiversity

Communication is an essential element of mental health assessment, engagement and support, and strategies that improve communication  will increase the success of mental health care. 

Neuro-affirming care is an approach that recognises neurodivergence as a natural and valuable form of human variation and upholds that all people have the right to have their needs understood and respected. Using this lens in clinical work creates opportunities to honour each person’s authentic ways of communicating, learning, interacting, and behaving.
