We are running this course again starting September: The ‘Certificate in Working Therapeutically With Autistic Adults’ Neuroaffirming. With client-work based presentations, and research info, drawn together with our discussions as a training group.
It’s not a ‘model’ of therapy, as such. But the training focused on being neuroaffirming, culturally attuned, trauma-informed, and social-justice minded, - focussing on the wellbeing of autistic clients.
Quote from Vanguard Neurodiversity Training: "We take the positionality of the bio-psycho-social model, rather than the medical model, in all that we believe in. The course presentations are around big subjects, such as energy management, relationships, minority stress, knowing the self and meeting needs, workplace, trauma, burnout, being a human being, the history of autism as it relates to us therapists, and much more. We meet for training on Zoom and there’s a supervision group / safe space included in the course fees. You can see the course details here, which starts September 2024 - with a longer description of it.
