This workshop will continue to explore topics discussed in Part 1 including the complexities of neurodivergent family dynamics, shifting the focus beyond supporting a single neurodivergent child to understanding how family relationships and overall functioning are impacted when multiple members experience neurodivergence, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Attendees gained insights into the unique challenges, relational patterns, and strengths within these families, as well as strategies for fostering connection, communication, and resilience.

Part 1 covered common relational dynamics, the effects of societal stigma, and the balance of responsibilities among family members through lecture, experiential activities, and discussion. Clinical strategies were shared through collaborative discussion, focusing on relationship-centered behavioral approaches that empower parents and caregivers. Participants learned methods for maintaining an effective therapeutic alliance with the whole family while supporting individual and collective developmental processes.

The cost of this workshop is $125 for new registrants (this includes access to the Part 1 recording and Part 2 live webinar) or $75 ($60 for students/pre-licensed) for those who attended Part 1.
