Discover practical approaches that can help services better support the mental health and wellbeing of neurodivergent children and young people.
Join this free webinar from Centre for Mental Health, the Children and Young People’s Mental Health Coalition, and the University of York to explore new evidence on how strengths-based, sensory-informed and play-based approaches can improve outcomes for neurodivergent children and young people.
Many neurodivergent children and young people experience significant mental health challenges, yet traditional interventions do not always meet their needs. This session will share key findings from a newly launched briefing and discuss what this means for policy, practice and service design.
For public health professionals working across children and young people’s mental health, SEND and wider prevention agendas, the webinar offers valuable insights into reducing inequalities, adapting support to better meet need, and creating environments where neurodivergent children and young people can thrive.
Topics include:
Evidence on mental health and neurodivergence
Strengths-based, sensory-informed and play-based approaches
How schools and services can better adapt to communication and sensory needs
Implications for policy, practice and improving outcomes
