Navigating Bullying and Neurodivergence
April 16 @ 6:15 pm – 7:45 pm
This workshop series is for Autistic and neurodivergent individuals who want to build practical skills to understand, respond to, and help prevent bullying.
Together, we will explore why bullying happens, how to recognize it in different settings (including online and in the workplace), and how it uniquely affects neurodivergent people. These interactive sessions offer hands-on activities to practice strategies in a supportive, inclusive environment.
Please note: This is a skill-building series and not a bullying support group, or a substitute for professional mental health or crisis support. If you need immediate assistance, please visit Alberta.ca for resources.
Attendance all all the workshops is not mandatory, but we strongly encourage you to attend all three to most benefit from the content.
In Session 1, we will discuss:
- The different types and places bullying happens
- Why bullying happens
- Autism and bullying
- Bullying vs. conflict, harassment and discrimination
- How bullying affects people
