About this Event
This is the 4th workshop in a series of 4 (you don’t have to attend all 4 though — you can pick and choose the sessions that feel most relevant to you).
Join our friendly, easy-to-follow and interactive 2.5 hour workshop designed especially for neurodivergent adults.
You will hear from and connect with others with lived experiences.
This workshop is for neurodivergent adults who are living in Wokingham, who:
- feel drained or overwhelmed by their home or work environments
- want to make changes but don’t know where to start
- are navigating home-life, home-working, employment, or workplace challenges
- experience burnout, frequent overload, or difficulty with transitions
- are family members or carers wanting to understand how environments affect neurodivergent adults
This is a neuro-affirming space, focused on lived experience with no pressure to “cope”, mask, or push through.
Together, we’ll explore how environments, expectations, and transitions impact energy, regulation, and wellbeing — and why difficulties here are not a personal failing.
We’ll look at how small, realistic adjustments can make a meaningful difference at home and at work, and how self-advocacy can support change without pressure to unmask.
There will be plenty of opportunity to talk, ask questions, share experiences (if you’re comfortable), and take part in activity-based learning (if you want to) — or you can simply listen. You are welcome to participate in the way that feels right for you.
What we’ll cover:
- How home environments affect regulation, focus, and energy
- Practical adjustments for home life and home-working
- How work environments impact neurodivergent adults
- Reasonable adjustments in the workplace
- An introduction to Access to Work
- Why transitions are hard — and ways to support yourself through them
- Burnout: what happens when we can’t or don’t rest, and why rest matters
- Masking, energy use, and long-term wellbeing
- Making changes through self-advocacy (without pressure to unmask)
You’ll leave with practical ideas to try, greater confidence in asking for support, and reassurance that your needs are valid.
We don’t claim to have all the answers. This is a shared learning space, grounded in lived experience, where we explore, reflect, and learn together.
This workshop is led by trainers with lived and professional experience of neurodivergence, who are committed to creating safe, inclusive, and non-judgemental spaces.
Our sessions are practical, relatable, and grounded in real-world understanding — not clinical.
Whether you’re at finding a few things difficult at home or work, on the edge of burnout, recovering from it, or trying to prevent it, you are welcome here.
Book your place and come as you are. You don’t need to have it all figured out.
This workshop is FREE for neurodivergent adults living or working in Wokingham
(family members or carers who want to improve their understanding & support of a neurodivergent adult are also welcome to attend).
(Those living outside of Wokingham Borough are able to purchase an affordable ticket instead, but there are limited numbers.)
