Dawn- Practitioner Certificate in Working with Autistic Adults

This course is designed to equip helping professionals (such as Counsellors, Psychotherapists, Psychologists, Psychiatrists, GPs, Nurses, Coaches, Play Therapists, Art Therapists, Drama and Music Therapists) with the knowledge and skills to recognise Neuordivergent traits, to adapt and to work in a supportive manner with their Autistic clients. It offers participants practical skills-based training with a strong theoretical overview.
There is currently a massive increase in adults either realising they are Autistic or being diagnosed as Autistic. Growing-up not knowing we are Autistic can take its toll on our mental health and overall wellbeing. Finding out we are Autistic brings a healing in itself. But it can also open old wounds and mean that we need significant support in building self-esteem, dealing with anxiety, trauma and a host of mental health and identity issues. Finding a Neurodiversity-affirming therapist can make all the difference to an Autistic adult and their recovery. The aim of our program is quite simple- to train and create a network of helping professionals who can meet the diverse needs of the Autistic adult clients.
