Capability Levels: Evolving and Established
Supervising neurodivergent social workers presents unique challenges, but also opportunities for growth, collaboration, and innovation. By embracing a neurodiversity affirming approach, supervisors can create an environment where Autistic and ADHD social workers can thrive, ultimately leading to better outcomes for both supervisees and the communities they serve. As the neurodivergent population in the social work profession continues to grow, understanding how to effectively support these professionals is essential to fostering an inclusive and empowering work environment.
Learning neurodivergent affirming supervision strategies equips supervisors with the tools to recognise and address the specific challenges faced by neurodivergent social workers. By fostering a more inclusive and supportive supervisory relationship, supervisors can enhance the wellbeing, effectiveness, and retention of neurodivergent professionals.
Who should attend?
This webinar is perfect for social work supervisors, managers, and educators aiming to enhance their skills in supporting neurodivergent professionals, particularly those with Autism and ADHD. It’s designed for intermediate to experienced supervisors who want to deepen their knowledge of neurodivergent-affirming practices, social workers with established experience seeking to create more inclusive supervisory approaches, and supervisors eager to adopt strengths-based, collaborative methods with Autistic and ADHD supervisees.
