Working and Communicating with Neurodivergent Clients.

The comorbidity rates of mental health conditions and neurodivergence are high. However, not all clinicians have experience working with neurodivergent clients, particularly in rural areas.  Communication difficulties and anxieties around social interaction can further isolate neurodivergent clients who are in need of mental health support. In this episode Peregrine Local Project Officer, Charley Mason interviews clinical psychologist Monique Mitchelson and clinical neuropsychologist Dr Michelle Livock, clinicians who specialise in working with neurodivergent individuals. Michelle and Monique discuss how to best communicate with neurodivergent individuals in your practice, including how to refer clients who you believe may be neurodivergent for diagnosis and further assistance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
