Join Christian Jacobs, MS, LMFT, as he facilitates a presentation on creating a psychologically safe work life balance. Up to 20% of employees and students have a neurodivergent condition such as dyslexia, autism, ADHD, and other mental health diagnoses. Neurodiversity means that people learn differently based on multiple mental factors and “there is no single way for a brain to be typical.” These unique skills and abilities can benefit organizations and society at large. However, many families face challenges in parenting or caring for loved ones who are neurodivergent.

Key Discussion Points:
- Understanding neurodiversity and its significance
- Recognizing the strengths and challenges of neurodivergent individuals
- Effective communication strategies
- Creating accommodating learning and work environments
- Promoting inclusivity and diversity in our community

This webinar will clearly define neurodiversity and provide tips on how to collaborate with neurodivergent family members, students, colleagues, and staff of color. The material will also provide tips on how to develop work inclusive environments in a remote/hybrid world for those who may learn differently.
