NDeavour Meeting Space
Who are NDeavour?
We are a group of neurodivergent (ND) therapists including ADHDers, autistics, dyspraxics and dyslexics. We are proud of our unique brains and thinking styles.
What is the Meeting Space?
- The NDeavour meeting space is a remote meeting that occurs on the first Thursday of the month at 6 pm.
- The meeting is for ND therapists to connect with each other. You must also be a member of the BABCP neurodiversity SIG.
- The group recognises self-diagnosis as valid. Therefore, if you self-identify as ND, you are welcome to attend.
What are the aims of the group?
- To have a space to socialise, unmask and be our true authentic selves
- To discuss our experiences regarding workplace, accommodations, and offer support to each other
- To discuss the research regarding ND and how we can share our unique expertise with the wider therapeutic community and with BABCP members
- To discuss our special interests
- The meeting is not a supervision or therapy group
- The meeting will respect group members’ confidentiality. Many of us, choose not to disclose our ND in the workplace
