Employer Course:
Neurodiversity in the Workplace

Designed for employers and managers, our Neurodiversity in the Workplace course contains all the knowledge companies need to create an inclusive and accessible environment for neurodivergent employees.

​

Using over 25 years of experience in the field of neurodiversity, we have combined our tried and trusted strategies into one guide to make sure companies know how to best support (and get the best results from!) neurodivergent employees.

​

Throughout the course, you will learn about the difficulties neurodivergent people face, how to overcome these with reasonable adjustments, your legal obligations as a manager or employer, and much, much more!

The 12-Step Anxiety Programme

12 step anxiety program poster

In 2018, we developed the 12 Step Anxiety Recovery Program - a program of psychosocial education using adapted CBT principles that aims to provide strategies to develop resilience and learn how anxiety can work for you, rather than against you. 

​​

The program has been successfully adapted for young people, individuals with neurodiversity, parents/ carers of anxious children, and professionals working in mental health.

​

You do not have to be neurodiverse to attend the 12 Step, however, it can be successfully adapted for neurodiversity.
