Neurodiversity training is becoming essential CPD for counsellors and therapists and those providing mental health services. But what can you do if you’re a small charity and don’t have a training budget?

OK, I’m kidding. Sort of.

Neurodiversity training for mental health professionals shouldn’t be dull, of course. It should be engaging, interactive, practical and useful.

However.

Neurodiversity training also needs to engage learners in some “long form” skills. Good neurodiversity training encourages deep thinking, reflection, self-awareness, uncovering unconscious bias, and sometimes uncomfortable truths about how the world operates.

Another uncomfortable truth is that we can’t get those things from social media.
