  • Providing support, encouragement, and opportunities to improve their confidence and self-esteem;

  • Providing information and guidance for neurodivergent teens and young adults on understanding and improving their mental health needs, how to advocate for their legal rights, what treatment options are available in the area, and how to find effective support for their mental health;

  • Providing opportunities and guidance for neurodivergent teens and young adults to transition into the wider community;

  • Seeking to advance the knowledge and skills of mental health professionals, health and social care staff, and other primary points of contact for neurodivergent teens and young adults in providing effective, neurodiversity-affirming support;   and by
