Unlocking Neurodivergence: Practical Insights for Chaplains, Pastors and Leaders

Neurodivergence is more common than you think—so how can does your Chaplaincy need to adapt for the needs of the neurodivergent? In this engaging and interactive two-hour workshop, Kathryn will demystify key questions, such as:

✅ What does neurodivergent actually mean?

✅ How can I recognise if someone is neurodivergent, e.g. has ADHD, Autism, or Dyslexia?

✅ How might this impact the people I minister to—and should I adjust my approach?

Through real-life case studies, lived experiences, and interactive activities, you’ll gain practical tools to foster an inclusive, strengths-based approach to your support. Come with questions, leave with insights.
