About the Event
In celebration of Mental Health Awareness Week (13th-19th May, 2024), join Lexxic's Director of Psychological Consulting, Helen Musgrove, as she discusses the relationship between neurodiversity and mental health with Consulting Business Psychologist Abigail Tennant, drawing on Abigail’s professional and personal experience.
The webinar is scheduled to take place the week after the awareness week, offering valuable insights and discussions on this important topic.
The session will consider questions such as:
What does evidence tell us about the links between neurodiversity and mental health?
Why might people with neurodifferences be more likely to experience mental health challenges?
Why are neurodifferences sometimes misdiagnosed as mental health conditions?
What is the impact of gender on the relationship between neurodiversity and mental health?
What can we do in the workplace to support neurodivergent individuals to maintain good mental health?
How can we support neurodivergent colleagues who are experiencing mental health challenges?
We will also leave time at the end for some questions from the audience.
Please note, we use Slido in parts throughout our webinars to allow for audience participation. Our event host will provide clear instructions on how to participate, but there is absolutely no pressure to engage if you do not wish to. You will be able to access the Slido questions by using the camera on your phone to scan a QR code which the presenter will share with you, or by visiting www.slido.com and entering a code that the presenter will share with you.
