Creating shame-sensitive psychologically safe spaces for #neurodivergent students is essential for true change, belonging and to enable self-acceptance and self-compassion #ADHD #AuDHD #highereducation

Love for all my LGBTQ friends, family and followers this week having to listen to Tory hate speech and their existence erased. Words have consequences. Stay safe ❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️

ND overwhelm, paralysis shame, and anxiety are real. Sometimes my job involves just being there silently while a student makes a phonecall, writes and email or fills a form in or we do it together. Telling them it's important is unhelpful as is assuming ND people are unaware...

A reminder that an inclusive and trauma-informed approach does not harm anyone, but will reduce possible harm to others who might need it..

Improve access to MH support, Cut waiting lists and Improve access to diagnosis Cut prescription costs End people dealing with racism misogyny homophobia transphobia, ableism End culture of praise for over working and over stretching yourself
To be inside this guy's head for a day or even just have a coffee with him❤️ 100 Years of Solitude blew my young adult head off...surely he was one of us..🤔
MSc Psychology passed. I'm very proud for so many reasons. Studying when neurodivergent can be hard..but it is possible. However study isn't for everyone and just because you might be capable of something doesn't mean you have to do it. Do You❤️💪
