Event details: 2 April 2025, 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm (AEDT)
This World Autism Day, in collaboration with Emerging Minds, AIFS has called on an expert panel to discuss how you can better support the mental health of autistic and ADHDer children.
This webinar will explore how you can use neurodivergent-affirming strategies to better support the mental health and wellbeing of autistic and ADHDer children.
This webinar will help you:
- apply a neurodivergent-affirming lens to your work with children and families
- understand the impact that neurotypical societies and systems have on neurodivergent children’s mental health
- adapt and apply neurodivergent-affirming practice strategies to suit your context
- better support the mental health of autistic and ADHDer children and their families.
This webinar will be of interest to practitioners who work with autistic and ADHDer children and their families in a broad range of settings including child and adolescent mental health services, disability services, non-government organisations, primary health and schools. It may be especially helpful for early career professionals and those who have limited experience working with neurodivergent clients.
This webinar is co-produced by CFCA at the Australian Institute of Family Studies and Emerging Minds in a series focusing on children’s mental health. They are working together as part of the Emerging Minds: National Workforce Centre for Child Mental Health, which is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care under the National Support for Child and Youth Mental Health Program.
