SUMMARY:Navigating Bullying and Neurodivergence Series
DESCRIPTION: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’ll 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. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This is a skill-building series and not a bullying support group\, or a substitute for professional mental health or crisis support.  \n\n\n\nParticipants are strongly encouraged to attend all three in-person sessions for this series which will be held as follows: \n\n\n\nSession 1: Understanding Bullying on November 19.
