Confidently Unmasked Workshop

About the event

This 45-minute workshop is designed to give you an understanding of how your deeply ingrained thoughts impact your confidence and actions, relating this to how you and society have viewed your neurodivergence and the impact that this has had on your confidence and mental health. We will explore as a group the way that your unique brand of neurodivergence has impacted how you show up in the world and consider ways to embrace your unique skillsets and start changing the narrative into one of positivity and empowerment.

We'll also have FREE pizza available after the event.

This event is free to attend, but please log in to reserve a space!
