Join us for a panel discussion, moderated by Dayna Guido, MSW, LCSW, ACSW, with experts in neurodiversity, Benjamin Meyer, LCSW-R, and Ashley Brown, MSW, LCSW, CADC III.

While every brain and personality is unique, neurodivergent folks simply integrate the world a bit differently. For instance, some process slightly slower, but actually think with more depth. Others have difficulty with attention, or don’t quite “read the room” but have imaginations the size of Texas.

Neurodivergence is legitimately different and legitimately interesting.

In this webinar, we’ll dive into the wide range of neurodiversity, particularly in the realm of relationships with others. We’ll explore the many triumphs — as well as the challenges — that are encountered when the neurodiverse person connects with their non-diverse friends, coworkers, family members or partners.

From defining neurodiversity, to exploring the many ways neurodivergent folks can build successful relationships, the presenters will share their considerable experience with participants, contributing to a lively discussion with opportunities for questions and answers.

WE HOPE YOU’LL JOIN US!
