AuDHD & Mental Health Training

This training is for;

Mental health supporting roles, health and social care organisations, and anyone whose work involves supporting neurodivergent people and their mental health — including clinical and non-clinical staff, frontline teams, call handlers, coordinators, and managers.

Most services have good intentions but inconsistent understanding — some staff get it, others don't, and neurodivergent people experience that inconsistency from their very first phone call or referral.

This training brings everyone in your service — clinical and non-clinical — to the same baseline of knowledge and understanding. Rather than creating a specific pathway for a select few, the goal is a service that is more inclusive by default, for everyone who comes through the door.

This session has previously been delivered  delivered to Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Talking Therapies as part of the Vita Health Group.

This half day training covers; 

Why this matters — challenging existing assumptions, including how media portrayal has shaped public understanding of autism and ADHD (largely white, male, and unrepresentative), and why women, girls, and people from racialised and marginalised communities have historically been underdiagnosed

• What is AuDHD — autism, ADHD, and co-occurrence; why the two are difficult to unpick, and why we look at both together
• Co-occurring mental health — understanding that anxiety and depression are separate to neurodivergence but deeply intertwined, and how dysregulation can look like rudeness, aggression or disengagement when it isn't
• Masking — how adults learn to hide their traits, often without realising it, and why this changes what staff actually see day to day
• Environment and what helps — not just physical or sensory environment, but social and communication environment too, including practical adjustments for referral forms, appointment reminders, and phone or virtual communication; recognising burnout versus disengagement; and reassuring staff that many tools they already use for anxiety and depression work well here too, often with only slight adaptation

People with ADHD are often misunderstood at exactly the moments they need support the most — during job searches, interviews, onboarding, and the early weeks in a new role. This training gives staff a genuine, practical understanding of ADHD in an employment context, so support feels informed rather than generic.

Most organisations have neurodivergent employees who are masking every single day — hiding who they are just to get through the working week. It's exhausting for individuals and costly for organisations, showing up as burnout, turnover, and disengagement.

This half-day workshop gives leadership and management teams a real understanding of what masking is, why it happens, and — crucially — what they can do differently. It's not a tick-box awareness session. It's practical, honest, and grounded in lived experience.

Our neurodiversity training takes a lived-experience-led approach that brings together the full spectrum of neurodivergence and learning disability in one powerful, practical session.

Instead of booking multiple separate courses on ADHD, autism, dyslexia, Irlen Syndrome, or learning disability, we offer a cohesive training that’s rooted in real-world inclusion, accessibility, and understanding.

True inclusion isn’t just about policy — it’s about people, culture, and everyday practice.

At Beyond NeuroEquity, we help organisations move beyond surface-level awareness into meaningful, sustainable change. Through lived-experience-informed consultancy, I work with you to improve accessibility, build neuro-affirming systems, and create inclusive environments that benefit everyone — not just the majority.
