Religion’s Impact on Neurodivergent Lives
About this course:
We’ll take a look at both the helpful and the harmful - the ways that religious systems can provide belonging and support, as well as the ways that religion may dismiss or condemn neurodivergent individuals. By the end of this course, you’ll have a deeper understanding of the ways neurodivergence and religion intersect and be better equipped to support neurodivergent clients as they navigate their own spiritual journey.
With an extensive section introducing neurodivergent affirming terminology and language, this course is a great entry point for those new to neurodivergent affirming care.
