At the Mandurah ND Support Service we do things a little differently… that’s because we are neurodivergent ourselves (Autistic/ADHD).
Our primary goal is to empower and support neurodivergent individuals to thrive (and not just survive!), and support those directly involved in their care and support.
Mandurah ND Support Service incorporates an holistic, strengths-based, neuro-affirming approach to all services.
We incorporate trauma-informed principles in all our work. This means:
1) Safety (emotional and physical)
2) Trust - we are sensitive to our clients needs
3) Choice - we work with you to provide choices
4) Collaboration - we work with those who also support you, in a holistic manner
5) Empowerment - respectful, non-judgemental, building relationships and trust, strengths-based, and involvement in decision-making when working with you, the client
6) Respect for (neuro)diversity - the Mandurah ND Support Service is LGBTQI welcoming
“Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you’re feeling. To have the hard conversations.”
