Help your organisation understand the hidden impact of pregnancy, childbirth and menopause on Autistic women and neurodiverse employees.
Life-stage changes can have a significant impact on mental health, confidence, communication, sensory processing and day-to-day performance at work. For Autistic women and those with similar lived experiences, these changes are often misunderstood, overlooked or unsupported.
This workshop gives your teams the knowledge and practical tools to respond with confidence, reduce barriers, and create a workplace culture where neurodiverse employees feel understood, valued and able to thrive.
