Training Days in 2025

Working within and across Neurodiversity
Wednesday 21st May 10.00 to 4.30pm Worsley Building 8.43X and 8.43Y
Book here

Presented by Dr Sarah Helps & Dr Eloise Star.

The presentation: The broad aim of this day will be to explore, reflect on and learn about the practice of working across difference and in particular across neurodiversity. We'll set a context of neurodiversity and will then introduce you to some ideas drawn from CMM in relation to supervising / being supervised across difference. It might be an active day and there will be lots of opportunities for movement and discussion.
