TRAINING FOR CARE AND SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS
Training for Care and Support Professionals
Whether you work in education, mental health, or community services, supporting neurodivergent children and their families requires both emotional insight and practical knowledge.
I offer three tailored training options designed to strengthen your ability to connect with families, respond to complex needs, and foster inclusive, trust-based relationships. From emotional resilience and mental fitness, to ADHD-specific education, to a broader understanding of neurodiversity and inclusive practices —each session is evidence-based, deeply compassionate, and fully customizable to your team’s needs. Choose one, combine a few, or book a consultation to design something unique to your context.
Mental Fitness for Service Providers (PQ-Focused Support)
Rooted in the Positive Intelligence (PQ) framework, this option helps service providers strengthen self-awareness, communication skills, and emotional regulation to foster better relationships with families. We focus on:
- Building empathy and perspective-taking with families navigating ADHD and other neurodivergent experiences
- Learning to quiet internal “Saboteur” voices like Judging, Controlling, or Avoiding—especially during high-stress conversations
- Using Sage-based mental fitness tools (Empathy, Explore, Navigate) to turn parent resistance or worry into alignment and collaboration
- Creating a calm, confident presence that supports both families and your professional well-being
Best for providers who want to deepen emotional insight, prevent burnout, and build trust-based partnerships with the families they serve.
ADHD Education for Service Providers
This straightforward, information-rich option is designed to give you the knowledge you need to understand ADHD from both clinical and family perspectives. You’ll learn:
- What ADHD really is (and what it’s not)
- How ADHD affects behavior, learning, executive function, and emotional regulation
- Common myths and misunderstandings that hurt trust and communication
- Strategies for supporting children and parents in real-life settings—whether at school, in sessions, or in community programs
Best for providers who want clear, evidence-based ADHD education that improves their ability to respond effectively and compassionately to the needs of neurodivergent children and their families.
Understanding Neurodiversity in Practice
This broader session focuses on neurodiversity as a whole—including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other cognitive differences—and how service providers can create more inclusive and empowering experiences for all families. You’ll explore:
- What neurodiversity means and why it matters in today’s service landscape
- Strengths-based approaches to working with neurodivergent children and families
- How to recognize and accommodate communication, sensory, and processing differences
- Reducing stigma and increasing access through inclusive language and practices
Best for teams who want a foundational understanding of neurodiversity, inclusive practices, and how to support all learners and families with greater empathy and effectiveness.
