Neuro Skills Support Group

Neuro Skills is a supportive, skills-based group designed to help neurodivergent adults develop practical, neuro-affirming strategies for navigating every day life. The group will explore coping strategies related to emotional regulation, sensory needs, executive functioning, communication, stress management, self-advocacy, relationships and navigating challenging situations. Neuro skills emphasizes understanding your own brain and nervous system, identifying what works for you, and building a personalized tool kit of strategies that support regulation and well-being. Most importantly, we aim this group at developing skills tailored to neurodivergent people- not for neurotypical minds. These skills are aimed at reducing burn out, reducing masking, and supporting emotional regulation in ways that work with your brain and not against it. This group also provides opportunities for connection, community and learning from the lived experiences of other neurodivergent individuals.
