In this workshop, we will be exploring the stabilisation of higher risk neurodiverse young people in online settings who have experienced trauma.

We will be addressing some of the challenges around this work, such as developing interoception, managing meltdowns and building connections for healing trauma.

Rachael will present a practice for beginning to develop interception and Basi will be addressing racialised trauma in the neurodiverse community.
