Neurodiversity Awareness
Understanding and embracing neurodiversity is key to creating inclusive, supportive environments where everyone can thrive. Our Neurodiversity Awareness Session offers a concise, accessible introduction to neurodiversity, helping individuals and organisations increase their awareness and confidence in supporting neurodivergent individuals.
This session is independently created by Transpire Training and is not affiliated with or created by MHFA England.
Why Choose Neurodiversity Awareness?
Neurodivergent individuals bring unique strengths, perspectives, and talents to our workplaces and communities. However, a lack of understanding about conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more can lead to barriers and missed opportunities.
This session is designed to raise awareness and foster confidence, empowering participants to be more inclusive and supportive of neurodivergent colleagues, clients, and community members.

​
Provide a general overview of common neurodivergent conditions (e.g., autism, ADHD, dyslexia).
