Event Overview:
Mental and emotional wellbeing is influenced by a range of factors, including our environment, relationships, communication experiences, and sense of identity. For autistic children and young people, wellbeing can be shaped by unique strengths as well as challenges related to sensory processing, communication differences, anxiety, transitions, education, and social connection.
This Thrive Talk will explore how families, professionals, and communities can support positive wellbeing through understanding, acceptance, and neuro-affirming practice.
Combining professional expertise with lived experience, the session will provide practical insights, encourage reflection, and highlight approaches that support autistic children and young people to thrive.
Attendees will hear from two speakers who bring complementary perspectives on supporting wellbeing, resilience, and belonging.
