TOPIC: Couples: Communicating Across Neurotypes
1pm EST
In honour of St. Valentine, the Patron Saint of affianced couples, bee keepers, epilepsy, fainting, greetings, happy marriages, love, lovers, plague, travellers, and young people, let's talk about relationships; more specifically, how we, as therapists, can support couples (triads, etc) when one or both are neurodivergent. Traditional couple therapy usually fails for this population. Why? What do we need to do differently when facilitating cross-neurotype communication? Come and share your thoughts, ideas and strategies. New and past members are all welcome.

Theme Three of the Clinical Supervision Group: Modifying Traditional Therapeutic Modalities for Neurodivergent Clients

Theme: Youth: Queer and Neurodivergent
1pm EST
Robyn Livingston, Scattergram Psychotherapist and Facilitator of *The ND Room*, a group for queer and neurodivergent youth in grades seven to twelve, will facilitate our discussion on working with this population. We know that neurodivergent people are three to six times more likely to be gender divergent. How do tweens and teens grapple with these intersecting identities? What do we need to be aware of to support them and their family members? Come and share your thoughts, ideas and strategies. New and past members are all welcome.

This is a Canadian community of therapists and affiliated social and healthcare providers (including Social Workers, Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Speech Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, students, etc) who serve the neurodiverse population or want to learn about neurodiversity in order to better serve their neurodivergent clients.
