A free workshop offering a comprehensive deep dive into neurodivergence and support.
The Neurodivergence Deep Dive Program is designed for individuals who support or interact with neurodivergent people in their personal or professional lives, including family members, educators, service providers, friends, and neurodivergent individuals themselves.
The program is delivered as part of an Erasmus+ Key Action 2 project led by Cavan Autism Centre, in collaboration with CAIM Empowers. CAIM Empowers is a Social Change and Inclusion consultancy based in Leitrim, and run by Faye Hayden. The training has been informed, designed, and delivered by neurodivergent people, using a neuro-affirming approach that focuses on the real-life impact of neurodivergence and on developing effective, practical allyship and support for the neurodivergent community.
Participants can book either a half or full day course. The morning session will cover key foundational information over a two-hour period. Following lunch, the afternoon session will offer a deeper exploration into neurodivergence. This session will be partially guided by participant questions, ensuring an interactive experience that provides meaningful and practical information participants can apply in real-world contexts.

10:30am – Part 1: Core training session
12:30pm – Lunch (scones/pastries, tea and coffee will be provided free of charge)
