SUMMARY:Neurodiversity: We Don't All Fit into One Box!
DESCRIPTION:Too often we define someone by a descriptive label that puts them into a neat little box that serves only to reinforce stereotypes. We are all unique individuals. Our brains are as unique as our fingerprints. \nThere is a evolutionary reason why 1 in 5 of humankind think differently; –  ADHD\, Autism\, Dyspraxia\, Dyscalculia\, Dyslexia\, dysgraphia…. Diversity of mind is a scientific reality and the universal design. What we need is a diversity of mindset\, open to and embracing the phenomenal diversity of human neurocognitive potential. We don’t all fit into one box. \nJoin us for an exciting panel on discussion on Neurological Differences as we explore the following: \n\n\nDefining and understanding co-occurring differences \n\n\nThe importance of an intersectional approach to neurodiversity \n\n\nThe benefits and challenges of having individual diagnosis \n\n\nPositive examples of support and insight to help individuals identify their neurodivergent traits. \n\n\nThis is a free online event via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Neurodivergence isn't a Mental Health Problem
DESCRIPTION:For too many years\, neurodivergence has gone hand in hand with ideas of deficit and disadvantage\, particularly when it comes to mental health. It is true that many neurodivergent people do have co-occurring mental health problems. However\, these may be caused by the factors that often exist alongside neurodivergence – such as stigma\, lack of acceptance\, lack of accommodation\, meeting societal expectations and so on. \nPlease join us for this discussion about neurodivergence and mental health\, during which we will explore: \n\n\nThe causes of mental health problems in neurodivergent people \n\n\nHow we – as individuals and collectively – can support mental wellbeing \n\n\nWhat a mentally healthy world might look like for neurodivergent people \n\n\nYou’ll learn more about mental health issues in neurodivergence as well as creating some hopeful goals to promote emotional wellbeing. \nThis is a free online event via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Support Systems: Integrating Job Coaches and Supported Employment Into Talent Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Supported Employment is a systematic process of achieving competitive\, integrated employment outcomes for individuals with significant disabilities through long-term supports – often including the engagement of a job coach. While more than half (51%) of the 485 companies that completed the 2023 Disability Equality Index indicated that they have employees with significant disabilities who use Supported Employment\, the concept remains widely misunderstood and under-utilized in talent strategies. This webinar will more fully define Supported Employment and job coaching while also spotlighting companies that have made Supported Employment a successful component of their talent acquisition and development strategies.

SUMMARY:7 Must-Have Skills Remote Workers Need
DESCRIPTION:According to a recent FlexJobs survey\, a whopping 65% of respondents say they want to work from home full-time\, and 31% would like a hybrid work schedule. \nThe good news is that opportunities for remote job seekers continue to grow in many industries\, including virtual administration\, healthcare\, education\, customer support\, marketing\, and more. \nHowever\, despite the growing preference for remote work\, some would-be remote workers aren’t prepared for the handful of challenges that working from a home office can bring. Along with having the specific skills and experience to do the job duties\, workers also need to have a variety of other skills to be successful remote employees. \nLuckily\, many of these soft skills and talents can be learned or honed! \nThis webinar provides an overview of the top 7 skills needed to be a great remote worker—some you may already have\, and others that can be learned or honed.
