Organizational Trauma Informed Workshops
Trauma: Shaping a Neurodivergent Mind
This workshop is to understand that trauma is a type of being neurodivergent, and how it impacts how someone views the world and themselves in the world. Trauma changes the way you think and process which plays a critical role in how to function in the world. In this workshop, Sydney Elaine Butler talks about their personal experiences, shares their research findings about how trauma impacts your mind and tells you how if you experience similar things how to go about accommodating and navigating their world post trauma, and how to not just survive after trauma but thrive in a world that does not accommodate and understand fully the impacts different types of traumas has on a person.
Being Neurodivergent: A series of Traumas
Being Neurodivergent can be traumatic and cause various traumatic experiences. This is because the world has not always been accommodating to people’s differences or people only accommodate in ways that they assume that people who are neurodivergent are not what we actually need. In this workshop, Sydney Elaine Butler will discuss the different traumatic experiences that they have experienced, other things they have learned other people have experienced as a result of being neurodivergent and how go about instead of assuming you know what people need to be successful, and also recover these traumas, giving them the support, they need from you to be successful and recover from these traumas.
